The Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors have no plans to visit the White House next season.
No matter who wins in the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers, they won’t be showing up for the White House photo opportunity.
LeBron James, moments after learning about President Trump canceling the appearance of the Philadelphia Eagles, confirmed as much.

LeBron called Trump’s actions, “typical of him” and that he “wasn’t surprised.” The President canceled the appearance of the Super Bowl 52 champions after it had been confirmed many players would not be attending.
Steph Curry and Steve Kerr backed James.
