A group of Cleveland Cavaliers players have been excused from staying at the team's planned accommodations, the Trump SoHo hotel in lower Manhattan, when the defending champions visit New York City this week to play the New York Knicks, multiple team sources told ESPN.com.
Other members of the team's traveling party will stay at the 46-story luxury building opened in 2010 and branded through a licensing agreement with President-elect Donald Trump, as the Cavs have a contract with the establishment.
LeBron James is included in the faction of players who will not be staying at the Trump SoHo, according to multiple sources. James publicly endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton about a month before Clinton lost the election.
ESPN.com previously reported that at least three other teams will cease their business relationships with Trump-branded hotels this season.

I was getting ready to buy some Cav stuff for my son for Christmas. Guess not.
If he doesn’t want stay at the Trump hotel, let him pay for his own accommodations.
What a brave soul
I will continue to excuse myself from NBA games.
There is absolutely no need for any professional sport team. They exist for the pleasure of the audience—no one is forced to attend, everyone goes because they want to, not because they have to. When your car breaks down and needs a break job or a water pump, what choice do you have? It has to be repaired, you have no choice. Ergo, the local mechanic is more necessary to our lives than an overpaid bloviating, tattooed member of the National Thug League.
No worries. David Lee of the Spurs will be there when they beat the Cavs in the Finals.
F U LeBron!
Basketball will soon take the hit football has.
####ing spoiled brat b.tches.
I can’t harm them financially as I’ve never liked the sport
I’ve stopped most football watching. That HURTS.
Now it’s time for any NBA folk out there to hit them hard in the wallet.
Large black men exerting themselves occasionally. NBA is DOA.
I have never watched Le Bron James play one down of baseball!
NBA has been a joke for ages
I don’t watch the NBA because pro basketball is incredibly, painfully boring.
I’m sure President-Elect Trump is deeply saddened.
He is a special snowflake.
LeBron needs to grow up, the overpaid big baby.
Good. They can stay at the local no-tell motel...
Brake
Trump Soho is one of the best hotels on the planet. His loss. He’ll be back.
