The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a four-game sweep on Monday night. LeBron James, entering free agency, said after the loss that he does not yet know what the future holds. The defeat ends a season in which the team advanced past the Houston Rockets without Luka Dončić.
James averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds during the regular season. He carried the Lakers through their first-round series against Houston, posting 23.2 points, 8.3 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game. The 41-year-old has played 60 games this season despite missing time with sciatica and lingering effects from a 2021 ankle injury.
