After the Los Angeles Lakers’ season ends with a 115-110 Game 4 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, LeBron James says he does not know what comes next for his NBA career. Multiple outlets report that James, 41, is unsure whether the final game of the series—where he scored 24 points and added 12 rebounds—was his last. The Thunder complete a 4-0 sweep of the Western Conference semi-final, eliminating the Lakers on Monday at Crypto.com Arena.
Several reports also note that James is entering the off-season without a confirmed decision on retirement. One outlet ties the uncertainty to the fact that he is out of contract and will head into free agency, while another highlights that he plans to discuss his future with family before deciding. A separate report says James has commented previously about the possibility of retirement and that he is weighing options ahead of a crucial Lakers off-season.
Across coverage, the common point is that James remains undecided about whether he will continue playing in the NBA and has not set a definitive timeline for a final decision.
