LeBron James is officially exercising his $52.6 million player option for the 2025-26 NBA season, according to Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul. Despite being 40 years old and entering his 23rd season, James is focused on competing for a championship and will be paying close attention to the Los Angeles Lakers' offseason moves. Paul indicated that while the franchise is building for the future, both LeBron and the Lakers are committed to maximizing the potential of the upcoming season. James has a no-trade clause and is approaching significant milestones in his career as he evaluates his future options.
LeBron wants to compete for a championship. He knows the Lakers are building for the future... We do want to evaluate what's best for LeBron at this stage in his life.
James is entering a record-setting 23rd NBA season and remains uncertain about whether he has one campaign left or wants to play multiple more years.
