"My last year will be played with my son," James said, according to The Athletic. "Wherever Bronny is at, that's where I'll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It's not about the money at that point."

Bronny James is a 17-year-old junior at Sierra Canyon High School in the Los Angeles area. It means the 6-foot-2 guard will not be NBA eligible until the 2024-25 season.

LeBron James, 37, is under contract with the Lakers through the 2022-23 season, leading to speculation that he would just sign a one-year deal once his current contract expires and then be open to signing with whatever team he desires in 2024-25.

Sunday will be the 18th All-Star Game for LeBron James, tying him with late Lakers star Kobe Bryant for second-most all time. Former Laker Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had 19 All-Star Game appearances.

LeBron James has averaged 29.1 points in 41 games this season, his highest scoring average since scoring 30.0 points and leading the league in 2007-08 as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is also averaging 7.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game.
