The Cavaliers could lose LeBron James in free agency this summer. If that’s the case, TUMS plans to be there for Cleveland fans.
The company announced Friday it would provide free heartburn medicine to those in attendance at the Cavaliers first home game of 2018-19 if James signs elsewhere this summer.
"Hey Cleveland, is the basketball free agency mania triggering heartburn? TUMS feels your pain and will deliver free TUMS at the first home game of next season if your star decides to take his talents to another team," TUMS Brand Manager Valeria Saccol said in a press release (via cleveland.com). "TUMS may not be able to convince him to stay in The Land, but at least we can provide heartburn relief for fans who need it."
James opted out of the final year of his contract with the Cavaliers. He could still return to Cleveland, but he is also considering signing with the Lakers, 76ers and others, according to multiple reports.
The Cavaliers finished last season with a 50-32 record. They advanced to their fourth straight NBA Finals, where they were swept by the Warriors.
James averaged 34 points, nine assists and 9.1 rebounds per game during Cleveland’s playoff run.
