Since coming back from Dallas, we’ve been staying in a hotel, trying to piece everything together and support each other through this.”
“Our house is still standing, and we’re incredibly thankful for that,” LeBron said. “We’re hoping it stays untouched and that we can return soon to rebuild our sense of normalcy as a family in our home.”
