It’s not known where Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will play—if he plays—in the NBA next season.

Right now, the 41-year-old superstar is practicing with the South Bay Lakers in the G League as he works his way back from a sciatica injury that’s kept him out since the preseason.

James exercised his $52.6 million player option to stay with the Lakers this season amid rumors that the 21-time All-Star didn’t want to stay in L.A. after the team made it clear 26-year-old point guard Luka Doncic, who was acquired in a blockbuster trade in February for All-Star forward Anthony Davis, was the new face of the franchise.

While most analysts have cast doubt on James sticking around in L.A. beyond this season, many believe he plans to play in 2026 and possibly beyond.
