With LeBron James nearing the end of his NBA career, it’s only logical to consult the Los Angeles Lakers forward on the subject. The question wasn’t left out of the team’s press conference this week.
When asked about the possibility of him retiring after the 2023-2024 season, the veteran responded: “I don’t know. No, I can’t reveal that because I don’t know. I’m happy right now, I’m very excited. Looking forward to tomorrow and the start of training camp. But I don’t know what the end of this journey or the end of the season will look like. I have no idea. “
The Lakers have assembled an interesting roster for the season, including Gabe Vincent and the re-signed Austin Reeves and Rui Hachimura. The depth of the Lakers is what makes us think this team can win a championship this season.
“I don’t know. I’m happy right now, I’m excited…I don’t know what the end of the road is going to be like or the end of the season. I don’t know.”

They lost to the heavily favored Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals last year, but this year head coach Davon Hamm is running a more complete roster that could take the team further.
