As the Los Angeles Lakers begin a summer of major decisions, LeBron James' loyalty has become a matter of increasing uncertainty. While he has not expressed any outward signs of wanting a trade, recent reports indicate that he may consider donning a different jersey if he feels that joining a new team gives him a better chance for playoff success.

The 2024-25 NBA season is in the books for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The four-time NBA champion couldn't make it past the first round of the postseason again, after the Minnesota Timberwolves upset them with a 4-1 result that included two wins at the Crypto.com Arena.

The injury seemingly occurred with 8:39 left in the fourth quarter when James collided with Timberwolves guard Donte DiVincenzo.
