Savannah James, wife of NBA star LeBron James, has become an investor in LOVB Los Angeles, a professional League One Volleyball team set to launch in the 2026-27 season. This investment opportunity came via a group led by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, through his firm Seven Seven Six, and includes actress and producer Issa Rae. James shared her excitement on Instagram about joining forces with Rae and Ohanian to support the growth of volleyball as a sport, particularly emphasizing the presence of elite athletes and the competitive spirit of the league.

James’ involvement is deeply personal, as her youngest daughter, Zhuri, is an active volleyball player who attended the recent LOVB Volleyball Championship Game and even made the first serve. With sports widely embraced in the James family—LeBron currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers, their son Bronny for the Los Angeles Lakers, and another son Bryce for the Arizona Wildcats—Savannah’s investment also reflects her commitment to supporting opportunities for female athletes, especially her daughter and peers. She highlighted the importance of recognizing athletes' efforts and expressed her dedication to backing the team and the league fully.

LOVB Los Angeles will hold home games at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, with a Fan Fest scheduled for September 26 to engage fans and promote the team ahead of the season kickoff. The investment group’s high-profile involvement signals a growing trend of celebrities and entrepreneurs entering the sports ownership space, particularly in emerging women’s professional leagues. Savannah James indicated that this venture is about more than business—it's about building a platform for future generations of female athletes to aspire to and thrive in.

This move positions Savannah James alongside influential figures like Issa Rae and Alexis Ohanian in supporting the elevation of women’s sports through strategic investments. By leveraging their brands and resources, the group aims to enhance visibility and competitive opportunities in volleyball, a sport that continues to gain momentum in professional and mainstream arenas. The LOVB team’s debut season marks a significant moment for women's volleyball and represents a new frontier for athlete empowerment and sports entrepreneurship headed by diverse ownership.
