The news comes not long after Chicago Bulls shooting guard DeMar DeRozan hinted that he’ll be at the league alongside LeBron, who could be playing as part of his squad the MMV Cheaters.
Per the official Drew League schedule shared on Twitter, James will play in the Los Angeles-based league at 1:45 pm PT (4:45 pm ET) if he is teaming up with DeRozan. The games are set to be streamed via Caffeine, either via the company’s app or website.

Founded in 1973, the Drew League is held every summer in Los Angeles and frequently attracts NBA stars to play during the offseason.
Countless NBA heavyweights have participated in the past, including Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, James Harden, and Kevin Durant among many others.
