LeBron James has spoken out on his future following the LA Lakers’ playoff exit Monday night.

The Lakers were beaten 108-106 in the dying seconds by the Nuggets on Monday night, which condemned them to a 4-1 series loss and ended their playoff hopes for another year.

After his 30-point return failed to get LA over the line, LeBron refused to give a definitive answer on his future in the City of Angels during his post-game press conference.

However, he took to social media Tuesday night to somewhat break his silence to reveal he has yet to make an official decision.

‘I’ve seen, heard a lot of reports about my future,’ he posted on X Tuesday night. ‘I said it last night and I’ll say it again. I do not know yet as I’m only thinking about spending time with my family & friends!

‘When I know after speaking with the fam, my counsel as well as my representation about it then you guys will know.’

LeBron had remained equally as coy when pressed about his next steps in his post-game press conference Monday.

When asked, the NBA’s all-time leading points scorer merely suggested he has some thinking to do over the summer.

When asked if there was any thought about Monday’s game being his last with the Lakers, the 39-year-old paused before saying: ‘Umm, I’m not gonna answer that.’

LeBron may have the chance to play with his son, Bronny, if he continues his career next season after the 19-year-old recently declared he is entering the NBA Draft and the transfer portal.

The Lakers are open to the idea of drafting Bronny, who played one season at USC, in an attempt to persuade LeBron to remain in Los Angeles for another year, it was reported earlier on Tuesday.

LeBron, who turns 40 in December, has repeatedly said he wishes to finish his career playing alongside Bronny.

However, after four straight playoff disappointments in LA, the all-time basketball great could look to revive his chances at a fifth NBA Championship ring with another franchise next term.

‘I just wanna get home to the family, honestly, and start looking at the schedule,’ James said when asked if he’s thought about what comes next.

‘Obviously I’ve got one of my boys trying to decide if he’s gonna enter the draft or go back to school, I’ve got another kid that’s playing UBall right now, my daughter’s playing volleyball and my wife is doing so many great things.

‘So it’s about family right now and then in a couple of months I’ve gotta go to Vegas for training camp.’

LeBron has spent the last six seasons with the Lakers, winning the NBA Championship in 2020.

Prior to his stint in LA, the legendary forward rose to fame with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat, winning two rings with the latter and one with the former.

Knowing a win was required to keep their playoff hopes alive in Denver, LeBron put up 30 points as he desperately tried to pull the Lakers through while trailing 3-1 in the first-round series.

Yet in the end his efforts were not enough, as Jamal Murray’s 32-point return – which included a crucial two-pointer right at the death – was enough to win Game 5 for the defending-champion Nuggets and book their place in the Conference Semifinals.
