CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The most pressing question other than who will join LeBron James on the Lakers next season has been answered.
James will wear No. 23 for his new team, according to photos posted on the official NBA store. Shortly after his announcement Sunday night, photos of James' new Lakers jersey popped up on the site with No. 00 as a placeholder.
The Lakers' prize free agent, of course, wore No. 23 at St. Vincent St. Mary High School and all of his 11 seasons with the Cavaliers. But some wondered if he would go back to No.
