LeBron James’ son Bronny was in attendance for Team USA’s stunning comeback victory over Serbia in the men’s basketball semifinals.
The 19-year-old watched his father and teammates turn around a 13-point deficit in the fourth quarter of the Paris Olympics.
As the fight raged on the field, viewers noticed that Bronny was accompanied by a young woman. Fans identified her as Parker Whitfield, the daughter of Salli Richardson-Whitfield.
The recently elected Laker follows Whitfield on Instagram, but little is known about her as her accounts are private.
It is also unclear how the two met, and whether they are in a relationship or just friends.
