LeBron James will continue his journey in Los Angeles. The 40-year-old athletic icon has opted into his $52.6 million player option for the 2025–26 NBA season, according to Rich Paul, CEO of Klutch Sports, in a report by ESPN.
As the all-time leading scorer in the league, James is committed to pursuing another championship and will keep a close eye on the Lakers’ activities during the offseason.
Approaching his remarkable 23rd NBA season, he is merely 50 games away from breaking the record for the most regular-season games played, currently held by Robert Parish.
With a no-trade clause in his contract and an established legacy, James is focused on maximizing his final years in the league, even as the Lakers strive to balance their long-term strategy with their aspirations for a championship title.
