A man was arrested on a stalking charge at LeBron James' Brentwood home in Los Angeles on Friday night, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Saturday.

Officers responded at 9:39 p.m. Pacific (11:39 p.m. Central) to a call about a possible burglary on the property. A suspect was taken into custody at the residence and booked for stalking, a police spokesperson said.

James was not home. The 41-year-old was in Cleveland with the Philadelphia 76ers for their game against the Cavaliers.

What else has been reported

Security on the property spotted the man on camera and called police according to reports. He was not believed to have entered the home. Reports also said the man told officers he believed he was James' son.

A representative for James had no comment.

A rough night in Cleveland

On the court James had one of the worst games of his career. He scored eight points on 3-of-12 shooting with six turnovers as the 76ers lost 119-95 to his former team in NBA Cup play.

It ended a 396-game streak of scoring at least 10 points in Cleveland. Fans gave James a warm standing welcome in his first visit since he chose Philadelphia over the Cavaliers in free agency this summer.

"I know I damn sure wasn't good at all," James said after the game.
