LeBron James will be moving on from the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, his agent confirmed on Tuesday. James told the Lakers that he would be leaving the team and entering free agency, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Next Steps
A representative from James’ representation, Klutch Sports Group, confirmed the news in an email to CNN Sports and declined to comment further than Paul’s remarks to ESPN. The Lakers thanked James for his tenure with the organization in a post on X.
James will be entering his 24th NBA season, extending his NBA record. He’ll leave the Lakers after eight years of mostly mixed results, including an NBA championship in his second year in Hollywood. Negotiations between players and teams can begin at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday, and players can officially sign with teams beginning at 12:01 a.m. ET on Monday.
