Jack Nicholson was courtside to watch his beloved Los Angeles Lakers this weekend for the first time in nearly two years.
On Friday, he sat in his familiar spot during the Lakers game against the Memphis Grizzles at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The 86-year-old has been a season ticket holder since 1970, but ESPN reports he hasn't been to a game since last season's opening game in October 2021.
Fans, players, and friends, including Larry David and LeBron James, were ecstatic to see him back and gave him a greeting.

They also had a little tribute to him on the Videotron.
His presence was good luck as the Lakers eliminated the Grizzlies 125-85 to win the series 4-2
