James published his first children’s picture book, I Promise, in 2020 with the intention of inspiring young readers to “realize they can do anything,” as he said to Parents at the time.
“If we can give them confidence and hope for their future, that changes everything for them,” he added. “I hope this book can be that source of inspiration and that push they need to go for their dreams.”
Since suffering a right foot injury in the third quarter of the game against the Dallas Mavericks on February 26, James has been sitting on the bench.
The long-time basketball player is in the middle of a career-high when the injury occurs.
