Shortly after the Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Los Angeles Lakers from the playoffs, LeBron James remained vague on how long he plans to play in the NBA.

“I don’t know. I don’t have an answer to that,” James said when asked about his future. “Something I’ll sit down with my family, my wife and my support group and just kind of talk through it and see what happens. Just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play.

“I don’t know the answer to that right now, to be honest. So, we’ll see.”

James’ comments come after Los Angeles’ 103-96 loss to Minnesota in Game 5 of their Western Conference first-round series. The 40-year-old forward posted 22 points, seven rebounds and six assists in the defeat. It marks the end of his 22nd NBA season and seventh with the Lakers.

This season, James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists in 70 regular-season games.

“This is a business, too,” he said. “So you don’t know what the roster will look like next year besides the guys that are locked into contracts. I mean, s—, I got a lot to think about myself. I don’t know what the roster will look like. I don’t know where I stand right now.”

What we’ve learned about the Yankees after the first month of the season

BALTIMORE — The New York Yankees made major-league history in Tuesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone cautioned reporters before Wednesday’s matchup that it meant nothing for a club’s success in the following game. Boone’s comment was prescient. The Yankees lost 5-4 Wednesday night, and they dropped two of three to the Orioles, who are in last place in the American League East.AdvertisementThe AL East, usually baseball’s best division, has been mediocre. The Yankees (18-13) and Boston Red Sox (17-15) are the only two clubs over .500. All five clubs in the division have obvious flaws that could cost them a title when the season ends.“Imperfect,” Boone said of his assessment of the AL East. “It still feels like anyone’s division a month in. I know the Orioles are off to a really tough start, but we […]
