LeBron James signed a two-year extension with the Lakers, which will pay him $46.9 million in 2023–24, and gives him a player option for more than $50 million in 2024–25. While there is plenty of speculation as to where the legendary forward will end his career—and whether he’ll have the opportunity to play with his son Bronny James in the NBA—Lakers owner Jeanie Buss made her feelings about the King clear in an interview with Sports Illustrated‘s Howard Beck.
“With LeBron, we have a line of communication between the two of us, and he knows that he can reach me any time and vice-versa,” she said on The Crossover podcast.
