After 22 years in the NBA, Lakers star LeBron James is taking it one season at a time. Following a knee injury in the 2025 playoffs, where the Lakers lost in the first round, James is working his way back to full strength and is confident that he can play up to his usual standards for the 2025-26 campaign.

In one of the first updates since sustaining his injury, LeBron James spoke about his recovery from a sprained MCL.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said on the latest edition of the Mind the Game podcast with Steve Nash that Metta Sandiford-Artest (formerly known as Ron Artest) was "one of the best defenders" he ever played against.
