James initially announced his involvement in the sport on January 23, 2025. He will join the likes of Tom Brady and Will Smith in the series for the 2025 season.
Currently, James is preoccupied with the Lakers. They are currently in first place in the Pacific Division with a 34-21 record. They are 3.5 games ahead of the next team, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Lakers are coming off a dominant victory over the Denver Nuggets. James scored 25 points and logged nine rebounds and five assists in the game. Luca Dončić, who the Lakers recently traded for, finally had a breakout performance, scoring 32 points. He also had 10 rebounds and seven assists.
Now, the Lakers are gearing up for a game against the Dallas Mavericks. It will be a revenge game of sorts for Dončić, who played for the Mavericks for six seasons before being traded to the Lakers. He was selected with the third pick in the 2018 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks before being traded to the Mavericks in exchange for Trae Young and a future draft pick.
As part of the Mavericks, Dončić was named to five NBA All-Star games and five All-NBA First Teams. He was also named Rookie of the Year in 2019. Now, Dončić and James will have a chance to beat the Mavericks on Tuesday, February 25.
