Lakers Star Lebron James Will Not Retire In The Offseason
Los Angeles Lakers star Lebron James is expected to return to the team this coming season.
After they were swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, rumors circulated that Lebron James was planning to retire in the upcoming offseason.
James is determined to complete the two-year contract extension he agreed to with Los Angeles, which would earn him almost $97 million.
But because the second year is a player option, he can leave the team in the summer of 2024. This comes after he publicly stated that he is willing to wait until he plays with his son, Bronn, before his retirement.
Lebron averaged an impressive 27.5 points per game, 9.5 rebounds, and 10.5 assists. It is also reported that he has been playing with a foot injury for the whole of the season and that he may require surgery in the summer.
Speaking of the injury, Lebron said, “I knew I could get to the finish line.” Obviously, I knew I had to deal with it and deal with the pain or deal with not being able to be myself before the injury, but there was nothing that made me feel like I couldn’t get to the finish line.” He said.
