LeBron James is uncertain whether the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder was the final game of his NBA career, as he considers a possible 24th season.
The 41-year-old said he will take time to rest, reflect, and consult with his family before deciding whether to retire, return to the Lakers, or explore other options.
Despite injuries and a reduced role this season, James still delivered strong performances, helping lead the Lakers to a first-round playoff upset before falling to the defending champions.
He continued to break records, including becoming the oldest player to record a triple-double and surpassing the most regular-season games played in NBA history.
Teammates and opponents praised his longevity and impact, while James said he is at peace with his effort this season and will announce his decision in due time.
