Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James made quite an entrance ahead of Friday night's game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center, and he did so by walking in with what appears to be a nice glass of wine.

LeBron was ruled out for the game due to the ongoing groin injury that he suffered in the Christmas Day victory over the Golden State Warriors, which will force the Lakers' young nucleus to step up due to him being sidelined once again.

So, with LeBron officially sidelined, it looks like he's embracing the relaxation part of the rehab process with an enjoyable glass of wine.

The man certainly knows how to make an entrance, and given the season that he's had, he can pretty much do anything he wants when walking into the arena.

LeBron is averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game in his first season with the Lakers, which has allowed the team to earn a 20-15 record to this point.

The team got great news when his MRI revealed nothing more than a strain, so even with him likely out for a few games, the Lakers should have him back in the near future.

Until they do get him back, apparently they should expect him to continue to earn the praise of wine lovers everywhere thanks to his public display for one of his favorite drinks of choice.

After the showdown with the Clippers, the Lakers will prepare for a rematch with the Kings on Sunday night.
