LeBron James intends to change his Los Angeles Lakers jersey number to No. 6 next season, a source confirmed to ESPN.
James, who has worn No. 6 as a member of Team USA and wears the same digit on his practice jersey, had worn No. 23 during his first three seasons with the Lakers. He also wore No. 23 for 11 seasons across two stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and previously wore No. 6 with the Miami Heat.
This isn't the first time James has looked to switch his Lakers' jersey number.
