NBA superstar LeBron James is set to end his eight-year stint with the Los Angeles Lakers after informing the franchise that he intends to continue his career elsewhere.
Multiple US media outlets reported Tuesday that James' agent, Rich Paul, advised the Lakers that the four-time NBA champion will not be returning, allowing the team to move forward with its offseason plans.
If he signs with another team, James will make history by becoming the first player to compete in a 24th NBA season.
