LeBron James has said he isn’t ready to make any decisions about his future after the Los Angeles Lakers were knocked out of the first round of the play-offs by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The 40-year-old, who is the top scorer in NBA history and is in his 22nd season as a professional, recorded 22 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in the Lakers’ 103-96 loss to Minnesota.
James has won four NBA Championships and was hoping for a fifth title this season, but will now have to return for his 23rd season, which would break the NBA longevity record he currently shares with Vince Carter.
“I don’t have the answer to that,” James said when asked how long he would continue to play.
“Something I’ll sit down with my wife and my support group and just talk through it, and see what happens. Just have conversations with myself on how long I want to continue to play. I don’t know the answer to that right now, to be honest.
“It’s up to me if I’m going to continue to play, or how long I’m going to continue to play, so it has nothing to do with anybody else.”
James is also just 49 regular-season games behind Robert Parish, who holds the NBA record with 1,611 games played. However, his seventh season with the Lakers is over after the Timberwolves claimed a 4-1 series victory.
James said that playing alongside his son, Bronny, was the “number one” accomplishment of his career as the pair became the first father and son to play together in NBA history.
“There were times where we obviously didn’t look so well, but I think we kind of figured it out later in the season, the more games we had,” James added.
“I still don’t think we had enough time to mesh, but for the time that we had, I thought we ended the regular season very well to be top three in the West.”

PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Dorival na casa corintiana A goleada sofrida para o Flamengo no último final de semana foi um baque bastante sentido pelo Corinthians antes da chegada de Dorival Júnior.

Craque Neto aponta clube “subestimado” no Brasil: “Parece que perdeu tudo”
Craque Neto avalia o futebol brasileiro. Foto: Reprodução/TV Band Craque Neto avaliou a temporada do Corinthians e argumentou que o clube está sendo tratado injustamente de forma muito negativa neste primeiro semestre. “Parece que o Corinthians está em último lugar no campeonato, parece que não ganhou o Campeonato Paulista, parece que está horrível. Parece que perdeu tudo. Não perdeu tudo, ganhou o Paulistão, está fora da Libertadores, tem quatro pontos na Sul-Americana, perdeu só para o São Paulo no Paulista…”, argumentou o apresentador.

The Lakers were the most-bet NBA team in terms of total wagers and overall liability at multiple sportsbooks, so oddsmakers were thrilled to see them headed home.At BetMGM, the Lakers had the most wagers (15.6%) of any playoff team to win the championship, along with the third-highest handle (14%). Since Los Angeles had 10-1 odds to win the title entering the postseason (and longer odds before), the liability added up quickly.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement"It was great for us," Halvor Egeland, a BetMGM trader, told Yahoo Sports regarding the Lakers' elimination.
