MIAMI, July 22 (UPI) -- The Miami Heat published a link to a "LeBron James introductory press conference," triggering an Internet stir, but said the post was a mistake.

The YouTube post surfaced Tuesday, including the date "July 27." It has since been deleted.

A Heat spokesman that the video was mistakenly made public by the team's social media department, who is preparing for the possibility that James will join the Heat.

James' looming decision of which team he will play for in 2026-27 has still not been made public. The future Hall of Famer made several appearances last week. He said he "wants to compete" at his next destination, but did not provide a shortlist of suitors.
