The Los Angeles Lakers are set to play the 2025-26 NBA season with Luka Doncic and LeBron James leading the way. Gone are the days of James being the franchise player for the team. Doncic has taken that role over for the Lakers already after being acquired before the trade deadline last year.

Lakers’ Reported Stance on Bringing Back LeBron James Revealed originally appeared on Athlon Sports. NBA insider Marc Stein reported on Friday that the Los Angeles Lakers are examining whether they want to part ways with All-Star forward LeBron James after this season.

NBA icon LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers and his business partner, Maverick Carter, hung out with Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokić‘s agent, Miško Ražnatović, recently.

Last Saturday, the franchise signed an undrafted former ACC Player of the Year to lend a helpful hand to Luka Doncic and LeBron James if necessary. “The Los Angeles Lakers have signed guard RJ Davis, forward Eric Dixon, forward Arthur Kaluma, and guard Augustas Marčiulionis,” the organization stated.
