LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers puts up a shot against Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter during game five of the Western Conference First Round Playoffs at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. AFPLOS ANGELES —LeBron James declined to be drawn on his NBA future on Monday in the wake of the Los Angeles Lakers’ playoff exit to the Denver Nuggets.
A year ago, James had sparked speculation he could retire after the Lakers were swept 4-0 by Denver in the Western Conference finals, confirming to reporters he was considering walking away from the sport. “And then in a couple of months I gotta go to Vegas for training camp. So I’m gonna rest my body for USA Basketball. That’s kind of the initial thoughts.”
“Obviously I’ve thought about it in the past but at the end of the day the kid has to do what he wants to do … he will decide what he wants to do and how he wants his career to go.”
