LeBron James was among the sports stars to offer their support to Nick Chubb after the Browns running back suffered a gruesome knee injury against the Steelers.

Chubb’s left knee appeared almost entirely at a right angle after he was caught in a nasty collision that also saw Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick hurt during the first half of one of two Monday Night Football matchups.

Chubb was eventually carted from the field, as fears grow that he could now miss the remainder of the relatively new season. 

But a few household names from all across the landscape of U.S. sports made sure to remind the 27-year-old that he’s in their thoughts and prayers, at least from what has been gathered on social media. 

‘DAMN MAN!!!!’ shared James on X, formerly Twitter. ‘Nick Chubb. Praying for the absolute best.’
