CLEVELAND -- LeBron James and his?Cavaliers?teammates will be at the White House on Thursday.An unexpected guest will be there too.The visit by the reigning NBA champions will coincide with President-elect Donald Trumps meeting with President Barack Obama to discuss the handover of power and transition following a shocking election that left James -- and millions of Americans -- wondering about the future.Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a onetime Republican presidential rival who refused to endorse Trump and boycotted the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, also was to visit the White House on Thursday.James had supported Trumps Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, appearing on stage with the former secretary of state at a campaign rally in Cleveland on Sunday to urge residents to vote.On Wednesday, just hours after Clinton had conceded the election to Trump, James posted on his Instagram account that he woke up looking and searching for answers on what has happened. He posted the audio to Alright, a song by rapper Kendrick Lamar.The Cavs trip to Washington, D.C., has been planned for weeks. Coach Tyronn Lue, who received a phone call in June from Obama shortly after Cleveland rallied to beat the?Golden State Warriors?in the NBA Finals, wanted the visit to happen before the first African-American president left office. Cleveland plays the?Wizards?at Washington on Friday night.Lue won back-to-back championships with the?Los Angeles Lakers?in 2000 and 2001, but he failed to make it to the home of the president of the United States back then. He said its something he regrets to this day.As a young guy [I was] not really respecting what it was and what it meant, Lue said this week. We won our second championship and I was, what, 22, and I was playing for the Wizards and they came in town, they invited me to go with the Lakers. I just didnt go. It was stupid.But I mean, as young guy, you just take things for granted. You dont really understand those opportunities and what that means. Now Im happy with the fact that years later Im able to have an opportunity to go again. So Im going to take full advantage of it.James has openly expressed his views on numerous political issues in recent years. Following Trumps election, the three-time champion and father of three said he felt the need to offer encouragement to minorities and women.James wasnt the only Cavaliers player to express his feelings.J.R. Smith, who also attended Clintons rally in Cleveland, posted a photo to Instagram of his daughter standing outside the White House.How do I even feel confident sending her on play dates knowing the [kids] family voted for the racist, sexist person, [and] I dont know how they will treat her when shes gone, Smith wrote in the caption.

Ive havent crossed that line yet, he told RSN.I just have to get back to playing and then see how I go for the remaining month to six weeks of footy.Asked who would make the ultimate decision on his playing future, Fisher replied: It would probably be the clubs, Id say.Fisher suffered a setback in his injury comeback a couple of weeks ago.ddddddddddddIts on the right track now, he said.I havent gone back to square one, it was only an aggravation.Fisher has played 225 games for the Saints since his 2004 debut and is philosophical about his latest injury.Its never easy to deal with, these little aggravations and setbacks, when you get so close to almost returning to full training and playing, he said.But there are a lot of worse (off) people out there in the world than me.So Im just grateful I still have the opportunity to probably come back and play a decent month of footy towards the end of the year.
