Media princess Lebron refusing to get vaccinated.

The vague response was consistent with what James said over All-Star Weekend when he was first asked about his plans for the vaccine.

"That's a conversation my family and I will have," he said in March. "I'll keep that to a private thing."

James' teammate Dennis Schroder, who recently finished a 10-day stint in the health and safety protocols, told a German-language publication earlier this month that he and James were the only Lakers players who hadn't received the vaccine.

Schroder later updated his vaccine roll call, telling reporters last weekend, "I'm the only guy that didn't get vaccinated. I'll just leave it at that."

It would appear, however, that there is at least one other player on the Lakers besides Schroder who has not been vaccinated. Lakers coach Frank Vogel said Friday that L.A.'s roster has not passed the 85% vaccination threshold the league requires -- a minimum of 15 out of 17 players -- for a team to have its health and safety restrictions lessened moving forward.
