On Tuesday, James made a major statement about his future with the Lakers and in the NBA while speaking with the Associated Press’ Jonathan Landrum Jr. “I have a lot of time to take care of my injury, my knee, the rest of my body and make sure I’m as close to 100% as possible when training camp begins in late September,” James said.

Though he has yet to make a firm commitment on his future with the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems like LeBron James is gearing up for his 23rd season. The Lakers superstar said in a recent interview with the Associated Press that his current focus is entirely on recovering from a knee injury he suffered in April.
