Will LeBron James Play in the Next Olympics?

After the Paris Olympics concluded with Team USA securing another gold medal, basketball fans began to wonder if they would see LeBron James in action again when the Olympics come to Los Angeles in 2028. James gave a cryptic response when asked about the possibility, leaving many guessing.

I can’t see myself playing in L.A. I didn’t see myself playing in Paris 2024, too. But four years from now, I can’t see it,” James said. 

While the Paris Olympics MVP appears to be considering retirement from Olympic play, his teammate Kevin Durant seems less sure about stepping away. Durant remains open to the possibility of continuing his Olympic journey.

As far as 2028, who knows man? We’ll see,” Durant said.

Stephen Curry also remains undecided about his future Olympic participation. While nothing is certain, fans of Team USA will undoubtedly hope to see this iconic trio come together once more to dominate the court and bring home another gold medal.
