There is a growing expectation around the NBA that LeBron James will rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers next summer in free agency, per ESPN's Tim MacMahon on Friday's edition of NBA Today . "I know what the rampant speculation is around the league," MacMahon said. "This summer, there's gonna be a reunion and potentially a retirement tour for the ages back home again with the Cleveland Cavaliers next year." James is currently in his 23rd season and e ighth with the Lakers. He's averaging 22.0 points, 7.1 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game. James is a free agent after this season, and there's been rampant speculation about whether the 2025-26 campaign could be his last. There's no doubt he can still play, even at the age of 41 in his 23rd NBA season. The question about his future, as James said, isn't about his game. Rather, it's about his body and mind (h/t Robert Marvi of LeBron Wire). "My game is not going anywhere," Jam...

"I've never been sorry at basketball. I've been good ever since I started playing," LeBron James confidently said after a historic triple-double in the win over Dallas on Thursday. At an age when many predicted he would be enjoying the beauty of family time, the four-time NBA champion continues to rewrite history. While he hasn't confirmed that this will be his final year in the league, his answers on retirement have been vague enough for fans to speculate. But this time, he added a new perspective to his retirement stance. In Thursday's win over the Mavs, James recorded 28 points, 12 assists, and 10 rebounds, becoming the oldest player in NBA history with a triple-double. He broke Karl Malone's 22-year-old record. After the game, a reporter asked James the same question that had been repeated in the locker room for years: if he could play for four or five more years like this. Advertisement "I could. But I don't know. It's not like my ...

LeBron James keeps finding ways to make NBA history 23 years into his career, this time becoming the oldest player ever to record a triple-double in a game to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-104 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Speaking to reporters after the game, James had a reflective tone when talking about his 28-point, 12-rebound, 10-rebound performance. "I'm more appreciative of moments like this in my career, understanding where I'm at," said James. "I'm at the later stage of my journey, so definitely taking it in a little bit more." The Lakers are still playing without Luka Dončić due to a hamstring injury. Austin Reaves remains on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into peak condition following a calf injury. This has put more of an onus on James to carry the burden for Los Angeles recently. He's been more than up to the task, averaging 21.8 points, 10.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds per game in his last four st...

LeBron James set the NBA world off this week after making a blunt comment about comparisons between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder . "You want me to compare us to them? That's a championship team right there. We're not. We can't sustain energy and effort for 48 minutes, and they can. That's why they won a championship," James said after a convincing defeat against the champs. According to ESPN's Tim McMahon , James was described as "in a mood" and "grumpy" after the Tuesday night loss.  Could he have a change of heart with a change of mood? Sure. But McMahon doesn't seem to be buying it. The NBA insider claimed that James' statement was a fact.
