[Los Angeles Lakers](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba/los-angeles-lakers) star forward LeBron James responded to a question about his plans for the future during a media session at 2026 NBA All-Star weekend.
James is on the last year of his current contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, and there has been some speculation that he could decide to call it a career when this season comes to an end.
Some [even speculated](https://x.com/Rachel__Nichols/status/2022718721689550862) that his personal press conference at All-Star weekend would serve as the platform for him to announce his retirement. That wasn't the case, though.
When asked if he knew what he wanted to do regarding his career beyond the current campaign, James kept it vague, as he clearly wasn’t ready to commit one way or another.
"I want to live," James said. "When I know, you guys will know. I don't know. I have no idea. I just want to live, that's all."
