LeBron James will be back next season after all, just not with the Lakers. As he noodled on whether to retire, return to Los Angeles or head elsewhere, he informed the Lakers that he will continue his NBA career elsewhere, according to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The massive decision ends an incredible eight-year run with the Lakers that included the franchise’s 17th NBA title, endless records shattered and two seasons with his son Bronny as a teammate. James’s stint in L.A. is a Hall of Fame career in and of itself, which will amount to just a third of his NBA days as he enters his 24th season in a new uniform later this year.
