It will be the first time during James’ illustrious career that he has missed the season opener.
James, 40, is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $52.6 million. What happens after the 2025-26 campaign remains unknown. James could retire or opt to play again — for the Lakers or another team since he will be a free agent.
He was a force again last season, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists last season in 70 games.
“I mean, call a spade a spade: Bron is on his last couple of years — however many years he decides to play,” Austin Reaves said. “But, yeah, him and Luka, they are both professionals and they want to win more than anything. So whatever they can do together to help us, that’s what they'll do.”
James hasn't spoken publicly since media day on Sept. 29, but there was excitement in his voice about playing with Doncic.
He has seen the otherworldly talent Doncic possesses and the joy in which he plays the game.
