Lakers superstar, 40-year-old James said in an interview with the US media on the 18th that he has no plans to retire. His main thing now is to actively recover from left knee injury and strive to recover to almost 100% before the training camp in the new season.

At the same time, James responded to the topic of "whether there is a plan to extend his career to 2026 and compete with his second son Bryce (Bryce will have the right to participate in the draft in 2026)". He said: "If I have such an idea, then I am really insane." James did not give a clear retirement schedule, but he also believes that his career has entered its final stage.
