Overview
- Oklahoma City closed out the series Monday with a 115-110 Game 4 win to complete a 4-0 sweep and move to 8-0 in these playoffs.
- After the loss, LeBron James said he does not know what comes next and will first discuss it with his family.
- His two-year, $104 million Lakers deal has expired, leaving him an unrestricted free agent at 41 as media speculate about retirement or moves to Cleveland or Golden State.
- Reporting in the U.S. press says the Lakers’ new ownership may resist a roughly $52 million salary for James, while Jake Fischer has noted a short-term return on a lower number remains possible.
- Los Angeles played the series without Luka Dončić due to a left hamstring strain, and the defending champion Thunder now await the Spurs–Timberwolves winner, which is tied 2-2.
