The Los Angeles Lakers are deciding whether to keep LeBron James on the floor or give him extra rest as the NBA playoffs approach.
The choice comes with only a handful of regular-season games remaining and the postseason set to begin later this month. Preserving James’ health is a priority, yet every remaining contest carries weight for the team’s seeding.
As of April 8, 2026, the Lakers had not announced a final plan for the 21-year veteran. No timetable was provided for when a decision might be made.
