Nick Kyrgios has been enjoying his time off-court since the Australian Open. The Australian has been highly active on social media, regularly updating his fans and followers about his day-to-day activities.  Today morning was no less. The 26-year-old Kyrgios attended a basketball match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. However, what turned out to be the highest point for Kyrgios in the match was him meeting the basketball legend LeBron James.

Kyrgios last played at the 2022 Australian Open. Even though he faced a second-round exit in the singles draw, Nick overshadowed the loss with a record-breaking performance in the doubles draw. Kyrgios and fellow countryman Thanasi Kokkinakis created history by becoming the first Australian pair to win the Australian Open men’s doubles title since 1997.
