James said that the disappointment from losing was still fresh and a decision would be taken only after recalibrating with his family. The 41-year-old despite his veteran status rallied to keep the Lakers alive, scoring 24 points and 12 rebounds in LA.
"It’s obviously still fresh with us losing. I don’t know what the future holds for me, as it stands right now tonight. I think I said last year after we lost to Minnesota that I’ll go back and recalibrate with my family and talk to them, spend some time with them. And when the time comes, obviously, you guys will know what I decide to do," James added.
