The 40-year-old superstar said “I don’t know” when asked after a first-round loss to the Timberwolves how many more seasons he plans to play.

LeBron James said he needs to talk with his family and support group before deciding whether to play next season after the Lakers were eliminated Wednesday.

Given the stage of his career, James is no stranger to talk of retirement. After the Lakers were eliminated from the 2023 NBA Playoffs, James said he had "a lot to think about" with his future, but Los Angeles' moves to acquire his son, Bronny, and superstar Luka Doncic in the past year may have given the four-time MVP new life.
