NEW YORK (AP) — LeBron James may be ready to shed some light on his future plans.The NBA’s career scoring king — and free agent — is scheduled to speak publicly Thursday afternoon, meaning it’s possible that James will be revealing where he plans to play this coming season or at least give some updates on where he is in the decision-making process.James will be recording an episode of his “Mind the Game” podcast alongside guest co-host Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers in New York on the opening day of Fanatics Fest, a four-day event featuring dozens of athletes, celebrities and sports legends. Single-day general admission tickets are sold out, organizers said.That appearance has been planned for months; it was announced publicly in May.James is the NBA’s oldest active player at 41 and the only player in league history to have a career spanning 23 seasons; this coming season will be his 24th. Speculation has been rampant for more than two months about his future, officially starting in May when the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs.At that time, James said he didn’t know what he would be doing.
And the only developments that he’s revealed since came on June 30, when he said he would play this coming season and that he was leaving the Lakers after an eight-season run highlighted by the 2020 NBA title.
