NBA star and Cleveland icon LeBron James put some distance between himself and Johnny Manziel, even if he did it by proxy when his manager Maverick Carter parted ways with the Browns-for-now quarterback.

But James said he’s still worried about Manziel, after reports of him being in Las Vegas in a wig and mustache instead of with the team for last weekend’s finale.

I think it’s more concern for him individually,” James said, via Joe Vardon of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “And I’m not quite sure, I don’t know all the details on it, I really kind of even haven’t been all up on it, but I’ve heard a little bit of it and it’s just a distraction for not only himself but for everyone that’s around him, including family, people that represent him, the people around him.

“And he’ll figure it out at some point, we all hope.”

Of course, if he does, it may or may not be in Cleveland, as others are seemingly lined up to accept the risk.
