The Lakers' superstar spoke on how he's feeling after injuring his knee, his plans for the 2025-2026 NBA season and what's keeping him on the court.

Los Angeles was bounced in five games by a younger, quicker, and more determined Timberwolves squad — and to make matters worse, James suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee that required surgery.

During his eventful 22nd season, the basketball icon became the first to play with his son on the same team, when Bronny James was signed by the Lakers last summer. Then, a blockbuster trade in February dealt superstar Luka Dončić to the team, and saw the departure of James’ teammate and friend, Anthony Davis.
