In a recent interview, LeBron James made it clear that he will not be participating in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. At 39 years old, he is already the oldest player to suit up for Team USA, reflecting a possible end to his basketball career on the horizon. With the average age of the 2024 American team being 30.1 years old, it is evident that time is catching up with the future Hall of Famer. Despite not having a set retirement date, James' decision to skip the 2028 Games may indicate that his playing days are numbered. With his recent contract signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, which includes a player option for the 2025-26 season, it appears that the end of LeBron James' illustrious basketball career may be closer than fans realize.
