The Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James have a lot of decisions to make this offseason as they travel home.

In Game 5 of the NBA playoffs on Monday night, the Denver Nuggets upset the Lakers to move on to the second round. 

Many are making predictions about what LeBron will do in the future. Will he join the Lakers again? Is he going to retire? Will he join a different squad? 

Anthony Davis, a forward, offered his opinion on LeBron’s future with the team after the game.

Throughout his career, he has faced many situations where he had to decide what was best for his family or himself. Whatever he chooses to do, I’ll be there to back him,” Davis declared.

LeBron has taken a number of actions that have changed his career, including moving from Cleveland to Miami, returning to Cleveland, and then moving once more—this time to Los Angeles.

Davis went on, “I’m not positive. I’m not sure. It’s still recent. He probably isn’t even thinking about it at the moment. I have a good feeling that he will speak with me and let me know what’s happening before making the choice public. He will inform me at all times.”

For the Lakers, LeBron and Davis have played together for five seasons. Together, they took home a championship in 2020’s bubble season. 

“With him, it has undoubtedly been a terrific five seasons. We clearly don’t want to be at this point—losing the first round—if he does decide to return. Our intention is to return as a championship contender, maintain our health, and honor Laker Nation if he does.

“But he has a decision to make and when that time comes he’ll inform me,” Davis said. 

The Lakers’ lengthy offseason will continue while they wait for LeBron’s future to be decided.
