LeBron James refuses to answer question about Lakers future as Bronny decision looms
NY Post
All eyes are on LeBron James after the Lakers’ season-ending loss to the Nuggets in Game 5 of their first-round NBA playoff series on Monday.
The 39-year-old James declined to provide clarity when asked if he considered L.A.’s 108-106 loss to be his last game in a purple and gold jersey.
“Um, I’m not going to answer that,” James said after a brief pause during a postgame press conference. “Appreciate it.”
The four-time NBA champion — who became the league’s all-time leading scorer last February — smiled before he put down the mic and walked away.
James played coy when he was asked about “what’s next” for his summer plans and next season.
“I just want to get home to the family honestly… One of my boys is deciding if he’s going to enter the draft or go back to school,” James said, referring to his oldest son, Bronny James. “I got another kid [Bryce James] that’s playing AAU ball right now and my daughter [Zhuri James] is playing volleyball — and my wife [Savanah James] is doing so many great things, so it’s about family right now… so that’s kind of the initial thoughts.”
