đŹ âLove always finds its rhythm⌠even in winter.â âď¸đ
Itâs been a few years since Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah), the talented physical therapist, and NBA star Scott McKnight (Common) overcame their past heartbreaks and pressures to find love. Now, theyâre happily married, balancing life, love, and their thriving youth sports foundation in New Jersey. Together, they are the perfect team, always ready for friendly competition â until Christmas throws them a curveball.
This holiday season brings a challenge neither of them expected: Scott suffers a minor knee injury mid-season. While it's not career-ending, it sidelines him during the holidays, giving Leslie the perfect opportunity to focus on their foundationâs biggest event of the year â the Christmas Courtside Classic, a charity basketball showcase for underprivileged kids. đđ
But just when things seemed calm, trouble arrives wrapped in red ribbon.
First, the NBA assigns Scott a new holiday ambassador: Lola Ramirez (Paula Patton), a glamorous, wildly charismatic sports influencer who seems to charm everyone, including Scott. Her enthusiasm for "Team Scott" sparks jealousy in Leslie, emotions she thought she had buried long ago.
Then, Scott's former teammate and rival, Marcus Hale (Michael B. Jordan), unexpectedly returns home and wants to be a part of the Christmas Courtside event. But Marcus isnât just looking for redemption in basketball â heâs also hoping for a second chance with Leslieâs mentorship... and maybe even her heart. đđ
Meanwhile, Leslieâs outspoken cousin Shay (Taraji P. Henson) crashes at their house after a messy breakup, bringing chaos, wine, and unsolicited relationship advice that only makes matters worse.
As the Christmas season unfolds:
⢠Leslie tries to stay professional, but Lola keeps overstepping her boundaries.
⢠Scott starts feeling insecure and worries that Leslie finds Marcus more exciting.
⢠Marcus, humbled by his past mistakes, seeks Leslieâs guidance, stirring up old emotions for Scott.
⢠Shay encourages the couple to "stop acting like a perfect couple and start acting like a real one.â
⢠And, of course, the foundation event gets snowed out⌠twice! âď¸
The tension peaks during the Christmas Eve practice scrimmage when Scott and Marcus compete too hard, and tempers flare. Leslieâs disappointment hits them harder than any injury.
But on a quiet snowy night, as Scott clears the gym alone, he discovers a stack of letters Leslie has written over the years â birthday notes, anniversary promises, reminders of why they fell in love. He realizes that heâs let insecurity cloud the joy theyâve built together. đ
At the same time, Marcus confesses to Leslie that he didnât return home for fame or basketball, but to ask for forgiveness â for his arrogance, for the drama he caused, and for hurting Scott years ago. He reminds her, âYou donât need someone new, Leslie. You need space to remember what you already have.â
On Christmas morning, as snow falls softly around them, Scott surprises Leslie outside the youth center â itâs fully decorated for the Courtside Classic, thanks to the community showing up early to help. Kids flood the court in holiday jerseys, laughter fills the gym, and even Lola (surprisingly humbled) apologizes to Leslie for overstepping. đ
đ
Scott pulls Leslie onto center court as carols play softly in the background.
đŹ Scott: âI donât need Christmas magic. I just need you. And Iâm ready to fight for us again.â
đŹ Leslie: âYou donât have to fight alone, baby. Weâre a team.â
They share a warm, emotional kiss as the scoreboard lights up in festive colors. â¨
The film ends with the Christmas Courtside Classic being the most successful charity event in the foundationâs history. Marcus signs a coaching deal with the youth center, Shay starts dating a choir director, and Scott and Leslie walk home hand-in-hand through the snow, laughing and stronger than ever.
JUST WRIGHT 2: A CHRISTMAS COURTSIDE (2025) is a holiday sequel filled with love, laughter, basketball, forgiveness, and the kind of warmth only Queen Latifah can bring.
