Dave Portnoy has unexpectedly connected Jalen Hurts’ injury news to LeBron James.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy has never really hidden his dislike of NBA superstar LeBron James.

But Portnoy continues to evolve and find new ways to take jabs at the now-Philadelphia 76ers star. He recently claimed that Philly has already been infected by the ‘curse of LeBron.’

Portnoy took things up a notch when he somehow blamed James for the recent injury news involving Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts.

Dave Portnoy blames LeBron James for Jalen Hurts’ blood clot diagnosis

Ahead of the Eagles’ Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, Hurts has been ruled out. Why? Well, Hurts has been diagnosed with a superficial blood clot.

While most fans and experts sent their prayers to Hurts, hoping for a speedy recovery, Portnoy used this as a chance to push his narrative against James.

As expected, the three-word insult aimed at James didn’t sit well with either NBA or NFL fans, as they called out Portnoy over a lack of sensitivity about Hurts’ concerning injury.

But Portnoy seems blinded by his distaste for the King, as he’ll likely continue to take shots at James as long as he’s an active NBA player.
