Thursday night’s basketball showdown in Los Angeles attracted a star-studded crowd, with numerous celebrities making their way to the Intuit Dome to witness the Lakers face off against the Clippers.

Among the A-list attendees were Chris Pratt and Jason Bateman, both eager to see the clash between LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard unfold.

Hollywood icon Jane Fonda graced the event, as did Zooey Deschanel, who arrived alongside her partner, Jonathan Scott of “Property Brothers” fame.

Singer Jhené Aiko enjoyed a prime view from her courtside seats, and even posed for a snapshot with the Clippers’ mascot, Chuck the Condor, during a break in the game.

Also present were comedian Jimmy O. Yang, Notre Dame’s head football coach Marcus Freeman, and the ever-enthusiastic Clippers owner, billionaire Steve Ballmer, all taking in the electrifying atmosphere from their spots close to the action.

The celebs got to watch a pretty good game, though if they were there to back the Lakers, they went home disappointed, as the Clippers won, 112-104.

Luka Doncic led all scorers with 32 points. He added 11 rebounds and eight assists. James, meanwhile, poured in 23 points, five rebounds and six assists.

Leonard was the Clips’ top scorer with 24, though Ivica Zubac was the star of the night for the home team with 18 points and 19 rebounds.

The drama off the floor might have been just as intriguing to fans, as the night was the first time James had been seen in public since an explosive report surrounding his relationship with his boss, Jeanie Buss, was published.

James, though, threw cold water on the speculation of a rift with Buss during a conversation with reporters after the loss.

“Quite frankly, I don’t really care about articles,” he said. “I really don’t. I don’t care about stories. They don’t bother me. I’m 41 years old, and I watch golf every day. I don’t care about an article. I don’t care how somebody [feels] about me. If you know me personally and you know what I’m about, these guys know what I’m about, and that’s all [that] matters. I can care less how somebody feels about me.”

Lakers play next in Dallas on Saturday, while the Clippers get the Nets at home on Sunday.
