Jack Nicholson was last seen at the Los Angeles Lakers game in October 2021, until recently when he attended the Los Angeles Lakers versus Memphis Grizzlies game for the 2023 NBA playoffs. The actor was in attendance with his son, Ray, who was also spotted alongside him at the 2021 game.
Jack’s presence was duly recognized as the Los Angeles Laker’s official social media page shared a photo of the star with the caption, “Game 6: Jack’s back.” The crowd was also pleased to see the How Do You Know actor at the game.
