Overview

  • LeBron James has exercised his $52.6 million player option for the 2025–26 season with the Lakers.
  • He has returned to full-court workouts after suffering a knee ligament sprain in the playoffs and aims to be near 100 percent by training camp.
  • His contract includes a no-trade clause that ensures he cannot be moved without his consent and reinforces his leverage in team decisions.
  • Entering his 23rd NBA season, he is within 50 games of Robert Parish’s regular-season games record and will surpass Vince Carter’s mark for most seasons played.
  • LeBron is working closely with Lakers president Jeanie Buss and GM Rob Pelinka to bolster the roster with a championship-caliber supporting cast under salary-cap limits.
