Former Lakers Champion Reacts Strongly to LeBron James’ Latest Statement

It was all but confirmed this week that LeBron James plans to return for his 23rd NBA season, following a revealing interview with the Associated Press tied to his recent Amazon advertisement. “I have a lot of time to take care of my injury, my knee, the rest of my body, and make sure I'm as close to 100% as possible when training camp begins in late September," James told the AP — signaling his intention to return for the 2025–26 season. While most expected James would be back, nothing had been officially set in stone.
