"The LAPD says the slur was painted over Wednesday morning. The department responded to the home about 7 a.m. PT, but it was not immediately clear when the language was painted on the gate.Details about the investigation at the four-time league MVP's Brentwood mansion were not immediately available. No arrests were reported Wednesday, but authorities will likely check security camera video in the area to identify the perpetrator.

James is set to play in the NBA Finals, which begin Thursday between his Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors.
