Lebron James has given new teammate Anthony Davis number 23, according to Yahoo Sports. This is likely in an effort to make Davis feel more comfortable on his new team, after being traded to Los Angeles on June 15. Davis apparently appreciated the kind gesture, according to sources.
It is unclear which number Lebron will wear instead, with the obvious choice being the same number he wore in Miami, 6. The numbers 8, 13, 22, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 42, 44 and 52 are retired by the Lakers so just don’t pick any of those.
