This season, the lakers have gone through ups and downs. However, there may be a need to worry about their star player’s future with the club.
Lebron james’ future with los angeles isn’t certain, according to brian windhorst, an espn nba insider.
On the podcast “brian windhorst & the hoop collective,” the journalist said, “i don’t know what’s going to happen with lebron in 2025,” according to sports illustrated. “i think lebron will play next season, but i don’t know if it will be for the lakers, but he’s got an opt-out.” “there are reasons to have discussions about this.” James, 39, signed a veteran maximum contract extension in 2022, which would make him a laker until the end of the 2024-25 season.
However, spotrac claims that he does have a player option. If he opts out and becomes a free agent, he will forfeit the $51.4 million he would be owed if he stayed with the lakers.
The lakers, who sit at 20-21 and 10th in the western conference, have had a rollercoaster start to the season.
The lakers won the inaugural nba in-season tournament, but overall, they have gone 9-12 since the start of december. Los angeles bounced back from two straight losses on monday with a win over the thunder, with james chipping in 25 points, seven rebounds, and six assists.
