The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly open to bringing LeBron James back for another season, according to Dave McMenamin of _[ESPN](https://t.co/b92cobLou8)_. The report adds that team leadership, including president Rob Pelinka, continues to support James finishing his career in Los Angeles.
“If James wants to play a 24th season, he would be welcomed back in L.A., sources told ESPN. Pelinka declared before the start of this season that he would love it if James retired a Laker, and, sources told ESPN, that sentiment was meant to reflect a 2026 retirement or a 2027 retirement, if James intends to extend his career.”
