LeBron's 1st assist to AD is No. 23, sources say

LeBron James is giving up his uniform number, 23, to new Lakers teammate Anthony Davis, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Davis has worn No. 23 for seven years as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.

While it's unclear what new number James will wear in Los Angeles, he previously wore No. 6 with the Miami Heat. He's worn No. 23 during both his stints with the Cleveland Cavaliers and last year for the Lakers.

Yahoo Sports was first to report the move.

The trade for Davis, which now includes the Washington Wizards, will be officially completed on July 6.
