LeBron: 'I don't know what the future holds'
Key takeaways
- "I think you guys asked me about [retirement], and I've answered questions.
- The 41-year-old James played 40 minutes Monday, and finished with 24 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as L.A. held a lead in the final minute on the defending NBA champions, but could not close the victory.
- "I left everything I could on the floor," said James, who missed a driving floater attempt with 20.3 seconds left in the fourth quarter and the Lakers trailing by one.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
LOS ANGELES -- Le Bron James, whose record-setting 23rd season ended with an unceremonious 115-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a Game 4 second-round sweep of the Lakers, was noncommittal afterwards about whether he will continue playing in L.A. -- or elsewhere.
"I think you guys asked me about [retirement], and I've answered questions. I don't think I've come out and been like, 'Oh, retirement is coming,'" James said. "With my future, I don't know, honestly. It's, obviously it's still fresh from, obviously losing [the series]. And I don't know. I don't know what the future holds for me."
