Dillon Brooks sat courtside Monday for the Lakers' Game 4 loss to Oklahoma City, showing up as LeBron James faced a possible 4-0 second-round sweep.
The appearance revived a feud that dates to 2023 and flared again in December, when Brooks was ejected after a skirmish with James in a Suns-Lakers game.
For James, the game carried extra weight because it was framed as a potential final NBA appearance if Los Angeles was eliminated.
Brooks' courtside cameo turned the matchup into a fresh chapter in one of the league's more visible player rivalries, extending beyond the playoff result itself.
