JANUARY 2026: NEW RETIREMENT REPORTS EMERGE AS LEBRON JAMES NEARS 41ST BIRTHDAY MILESTONES
Lakers insider Dave McMenamin reveals the key signs that LeBron James is retiring. From golf to contracts, see why the end is near.
LeBron James is playing his 23rd season in the NBA, which is a record, and he's turning 41 soon. But a new report says he might retire sooner rather than later, which would wrap up his crazy career.
The Lakers star is showing his age. His last game showed he can still play well, but the end is coming.
When asked if this is James's last season, Lakers insider Dave McMenamin was blunt.
Just look around. James is in the last year of his contract. His friend and agent, Rich Paul from Klutch Sports, told ESPN over the summer that James didn't want to extend his contract with the Lakers, McMenamin wrote. He might only have 50 or so regular season games left.
If this is his final year, James is averaging 20.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists in 14 games. These are some of his lowest numbers in the first nine weeks of an NBA season.
LeBron James Might Retire Soon
The insider shared a few key reasons that could mean James is about to retire, some more obvious than others.
First, James picked up his player option with the Lakers this year. This made people think he'll be a free agent at the end of the season. Also, Paul's interview with Shams Charania after James picked up his option felt like a goodbye letter to the Los Angeles team.
McMenamin also said James is getting more into golf, which could mean he's thinking about retiring. Lots of athletes pick up golf later in their careers. James's posting and talking about golf more could mean he's ready to make it a priority once he's done with his current job.
Last week, he said he couldn't talk about Jazz guard Keyonte George's All-Star chances because he's been watching too much golf on YouTube, the insider wrote. He also said he's ready to be home with his family instead of playing on Christmas Day.
He also mentioned that James seems to be 'stopping to smell the roses,' like when he praised Toronto and Philadelphia. This might mean he's enjoying what could be his last trips to certain NBA cities.
We've also seen James stop and enjoy things, like when he posted how much he loves Toronto after the Lakers played there, and when he talked about how much he'll miss loud arenas after the Lakers played in Philadelphia, McMenamin added.
LeBron James vs. 'Father Time'
All these things are hard to measure, but James himself talked about fighting 'Father Time,' who beats every NBA player eventually, except for James so far.
I remember, like LeBron 20 or 21, when I did that Father Time commercial? James told reporters after the Lakers beat the Kings. I'm fighting him. And I think I'm winning.
Another golf joke!
When asked about when he'll retire, James hasn't said much. He hasn't ruled out playing a few more seasons, but he's said a few times that the end is near.
"I know I'm getting old," James said in an interview with Complex. I'm not playing another 23 years, for sure, and I'm not playing another 10. I'm getting ready for the end, but I'm not there yet.
If this is his last season, when James announces it, it'll be the biggest story in the league until the Lakers play their last game, whether it's in the regular season or the playoffs.
KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND
Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.
Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.
Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.
Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.
He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”
This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.
Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.
So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.
MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING
Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.
The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.
Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.
Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.
Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.
So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.
If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.
LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.
Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
