LeBron James reunites with Kyle Kuzma in Winnie Harlow photos
LeBron James is enjoying his offseason while spending some time with his wife, Savannah James, and his former Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Kyle Kuzma, and his fiancée, Winnie Harlow.
The couples were spotted in St. Tropez with Kuzma and Harlow as the supermodel shared a black-and-white snapshot of them all.
'Leo Euro,' Harlow captioned the post, referring to her and Kuzma's star signs as well as the current zodiac season.
The NBA stars were teammates for three seasons and won a championship together in 2020. Kuzma now plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.
It's unclear when the photo was taken but it has since gone viral following LeBron's absence from Luka Doncic's press conference when he agreed to a three-year, $165 million extension on Saturday. Unlike Doncic, LeBron has not signed a contract extension, making him a free agent in the summer of 2026.
LeBron has also been at the center of trade rumors with his future with the Lakers seemingly up in the air. The four-time NBA champion was seen about both Cavaliers and old Clippers training facilities. His agent, Rich Paul, also made a striking claim about LeBron's future with the Lakers.
'LeBron wants to compete for a championship,' Paul told ESPN last month. 'He knows the Lakers are building for the future. He understands that, but he values a realistic chance of winning it all. We are very appreciative of the partnership that we've had for eight years with Jeanie [Buss] and Rob [Pelinka] and consider the Lakers as a critical part of his career.
'We understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future. We do want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career. He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what's best for him.'
LeBron currently is in a two year contract, worth $101.3 million, with a player option for the second year with the Lakers. The contract has a no-trade clause as well.
While it's possible that LeBron could go to another team for the 2026-27 season, retiring is also an option as he had been in the NBA for 22 seasons thus far. Lakers GM Rob Pelinka shared that it would be 'great' for the NBA icon to retire as a Laker.
'All the interactions we've had with LeBron and his camp, Rich Paul in particular, have been very positive and supportive,' Pelinka said when asked if he expects LeBron to end his career with the Lakers. 'Very professional and Rich has been great. The dialogue with him has been open and constant.
'In terms of LeBron's career, I think the No. 1 thing we have to do there is respect he and his family's decision in terms of how long he's going to play. I think that's first and foremost. We want to respect his ability to come up with his timetable and that's really important. If he had the chance to retire as a Laker, that would be great.'
The Lakers kick off their 2025-26 season will reportedly be on Oct. 21 against the Golden State Warriors.

Benfica in talks with Wolfsburg for Mohamed Amoura!
The Portuguese newspaper Record reports that Benfica has set its sights on Algerian international Mohamed Amoura to strengthen its attacking lineup during this summer transfer window. Mohamed Amoura is making headlines in Record, which confirms Benfica's strong interest in the player, thanks to his technical skills and standout performances with his German club. Benfica wants to strengthen its attack with Amoura! Originally from Jijel, Amoura shone last season, netting 10 goals and providing 12 assists in 34 matches. This versatile forward has impressed head coach Bruno Lage and sporting director Rui Costa, both convinced he can make a real difference for the team. Despite Wolfsburg's hefty asking price of 40 million euros, Benfica plans to submit an official offer to finalize the deal, knowing the German club had signed the player just a year ago for only 18 million euros. According to Record, if the deal goes through, it would become the most expensive transfer in the Portuguese club's history.

Getafe agree £10m Sunderland sale
La Liga outfit Getafe have early this week agreed on the sale of a member of the club's defensive ranks to Premier League side Sunderland. The player in question? Omar Alderete. Alderete, for his part, is a 28-year-old Paraguayan international, who has been plying his trade on the books of Getafe since the summer of 2023. Across the time since, the stopper – who chiefly operates in a central role but is also capable of filling in at left-back – managed to establish himself as a leading figure in the Azulones' backline. With such form, though, comes inevitable outside interest. And as alluded to above, this week, as much has culminated in Alderete being lured away from the Estadio Coliseum. As per a report from transfer insider Fabrizio Romano: 'Omar Alderete to Sunderland, here we go! Deal sealed with Getafe for £10m fee. Contract until June 2029. All done.' Conor Laird – GSFN

Sunderland continue summer spending spree with La Liga defender close to joining the club
Sunderland continue summer spending spree with La Liga defender close to joining the club originally appeared on The Sporting News Sunderland seem intent on having as strong a squad as possible next season to ensure the club can avoid being sent straight back to the Championship. Since securing promotion back to the Premier League a few months ago, The Black Cats have been very active in the transfer market, with 10 signings having been made so far. After confirming the arrival of former West Ham United left-back Arthur Masuaku on a free transfer on Sunday (August 10), it was reported hours later that an 11th player would be making the switch to the Stadium of Light this summer. Per Fabrizio Romano, Sunderland have agreed a £10m deal with Getafe to bring Omar Alderete to the club. The Paraguayan, who operates predominantly as a centre-back but can also function as a left-back, will commit to a deal until 2029 upon completing his move to the newly promoted Premier League side. Alderete featured for Getafe in 34 La Liga games last season, and his solid displays at the back meant he attracted interest from other Premier League clubs including Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp The 28-year-old was also linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this past January, however a move to North London for the Paraguayan never materialised. The defender's impending transfer will see Sunderland's summer spending spree reach just shy of £150m. Getty Sunderland's current squad outlook While Regis Le Bris has added many reinforcements to his Sunderland side this summer, a deal for a centre-back had not been done until the recent Alderete update. Hence, the imminent arrival of the South American player should ease any concerns he may have over his Sunderland defence going into the Premier League season. Alderete will follow players such as Granit Xhaka, Habib Diarra, Simon Adingra, Noah Sadiki Chemsdine Talbi, Reinildo and Enzo Le Fee in making a permanent move to The Black Cats in this transfer window. There appears to now be a good blend of experience and young talent in Sunderland's squad off the back of the club's ambitious summer business. Le Bris will hope this translates into strong displays on the pitch and his new arrivals can step up in crucial moments against Premier League opposition in the months ahead. Sunderland fans will be keen to witness their beloved side perform better than promoted teams of the past and see the team not dragged into a relegation fight in the forthcoming season. Le Briz will deploy his newest additions for the first time in the Premier League this coming Saturday (August 16), when his side begins their Premier League campaign against West Ham at home.
