Is LeBron James preparing to leave the Los Angeles Lakers after leaked talk of early retirement?
is back with the Los Angeles Lakers, but a hefty $52.6 million deal isn't enough to put the retirement rumors to rest. A leaked dinner chat with Savannah James has fans buzzing, and for the first time, his family's voice might be louder than the front office's. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As the NBA's oldest active player pursues history, one offhand comment could suggest that this might be LeBron's final chapter in purple and gold. A $52.6 million opt-in doesn't hide retirement rumblings LeBron James has officially announced his return for the 2025–26 season by exercising his player option valued at $52.6 million, marking him as the first NBA player to reach 23 seasons. He's in recovery from a knee sprain and is anticipated to be back to 100% by training camp in late September. With averages of 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists last season, he remains a dominant player. Still, the Lakers experienced a first-round exit against the Minnesota Timberwolves, a result that LeBron was said to be disappointed with. At a private dinner with his longtime buddy Kevin Love, a part of LeBron's chat got leaked online.—'Savannah wants me to f‑‑‑ing retire in the next year or so.'. That straightforward admission—featured in a viral Instagram post—added a personal layer to the public discussion. While he's secured a lucrative contract, the emotional influence from his family now appears equally significant. For many years, LeBron has managed his career aspirations alongside family loyalty—but this season, the balance might be changing. LeBron's choice locks in his status as the oldest active player in the NBA, and he's just 50 games away from surpassing Robert Parish's record for the most regular-season games played. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Lakers, coming off a huge trade for Luka Doncic, only have around $6 million in cap space, which restricts their ability to make further roster improvements. With LeBron aiming for a "realistic shot at winning it all," as stated by his agent Rich Paul, Los Angeles is under increasing pressure to perform now—or risk losing their superstar. Also Read: LeBron James has officially decided to stick with the Los Angeles Lakers for another season. However, the decision he faces balancing the pursuit of a fifth championship with his wife's wishes brings a personal twist to his final chapter.
