The Lakers’ hot November had plenty of stars flocking to see them at the start of December.
Eddie Murphy, Austin Butler and Pat Sajak all made their way to Crypto.com Arena on Monday night to catch L.A. in action vs. the Phoenix Suns.
Dodgers World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather were there too.
Jimmy Iovine and Mark McGrath had courtside seats as well.
The Lakers’ big November — when they went a stellar 11-2 — clearly had the celebs interested in seeing some good basketball, but unfortunately for the A-listers, L.A. stumbled against Phoenix.
The Suns shot 56.5 percent from the field, nailed 17 of their 39 3-point attempts, and cruised to a 125-108 victory. Their best player on the night, Dillon Brooks, also made life miserable for LeBron James, as he taunted the Lakers superstar and his fans throughout the evening.
Butler was involved in a funny moment during the game’s broadcast, when in the second quarter, sideline reporter Robbie Hummel was asked if he was sitting next to the movie star.
“This is going to show my age,” he said, as he clearly didn’t know.
“The guy who played Elvis is sitting directly to your left,” he was told.
“Oh,” Hummel responded. “He’s been great!”
Butler was later seen posing for a photo with Devin Booker, who ultimately had to leave the game early after suffering a groin injury.
Butler and other famous Lakers fans will now have to wait a while longer before they can see their favorite team in person again, as L.A.’s next home tilt is slated for Dec. 10 against the San Antonio Spurs.
