LeBron James will no long be a Los Angeles Laker.
On the opening day of NBA free agency Tuesday, the 41-year-old star informed the Los Angeles Lakers that he does not plan to return for the 2026-27 season.
James’ agent, Rich Paul, confirmed the decision to ESPN.
“LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere,” Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN, according to a post from senior NBA insider Shams Charania on X.
“LeBron James is one of the greatest athletes in history. We will always be thankful for his eight years with the Lakers — including the title he led us to in 2020 under the toughest imaginable circumstances and the countless records he broke in purple and gold,” Lakers governor Jeanie Buss said in a statement. “We wish him all the best in the future, both on the court and off. He will always be a cherished part of the Lakers family.”
