LeBron James appears to have his plan in motion.
The former Los Angeles Lakers star James may be waiting for one particular date before making his decision, Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report said in a livestream on Wednesday. There is reportedly a sense that James will announce his decision after NBA Summer League is over, Fischer says.
NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nev. began on July 9. It is set to run through July 19, after which James might finally reveal which NBA team he is signing with for the 2026-27 campaign.
Additionally, July 19 marks the final of the 2026 World Cup between Spain and Argentina. Once those major events are complete, the sports news cycle could potentially be wide open again for James.
Now 41 years old, James has not given much other than the fact that he will not be returning to the Lakers next season. Some insiders believe though that there are three particular teams that James is focused on.
One recent report gave a more optimistic timeline for James to announce his decision. In any case though, we may only be about 4-to-5 days away from an end to this entire saga with The King.
