LeBron James' wife Savannah is managing family life with members in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Arizona after LeBron joined the 76ers.

Savannah James is managing the complexities of maintaining family unity with each member based in different locations. LeBron James signed with the 76ers in the summer after eight seasons with the Lakers, establishing New York as the family's main meeting point whilst commuting to Philadelphia for games. Their daughter Zhuri, aged 12, remained in Los Angeles for school and volleyball, whilst their son Bryce plays college basketball in Tucson, Arizona.

Speaking on the 'Baby, This is Keke Palmer' podcast, Savannah described the challenge of organising her life across three states. She explained that when presented with options to move between locations, Zhuri chose to stay in Los Angeles. The 12-year-old said she did not want to be away from school for extended periods and preferred to continue playing with her volleyball teammates. Savannah noted that the family still plans to visit one another, with the entire clan reuniting when the 76ers visit Los Angeles on Christmas Day.
