James is still playing at a high level, but hes 40 and nearing the end of his career.
Whether he wants to play for the Lakers next season is up in the air.
His resume includes the inaugural in-season tournament title in Las Vegas in December.
The Lakers lost to the Nugget in the conference finals a year ago.
We all want to thank Darvin for this dedication and positivity.
The organization will remain unwavering in its commitment to deliver championship-caliber basketball to Lakers fans around the world.
