ESPN’s Shams Charania suggested that LeBron James will likely return to the Los Angeles Lakers next season after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.
On Tuesday, Charanaia appeared on the Pat McAfee Show and shared what he knew about the 40-year-old’s future with the team.
“I’m told he’s likely to opt in,” Charania said. “He’s got a player option of $54-57 million. He’s got a massive player option. That’s likely, that’s the plan. His option date is June 29, so he still has about a month to figure [it] out.”

James is in the second year of a two-year, $101,355,998 million contract with the Lakers with a reported cap hit of just over $52.6 million in the 2025-26 season per Spotrac.

It could be time for Taijuan Walker’s new role as Phillies search for bullpen answers
PHILADELPHIA — Last weekend, during his eight-day layover between starts, Taijuan Walker attempted to compensate with a 60-pitch bullpen session at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, Calif. This was the best he could do, because everyone involved knows this situation is less than ideal.
