Share
LeBron James has ignited a fresh wave of speculation about his future after teasing “#TheSecondDecision” in a social video slated for Monday, Oct. 7 at 12 p.m. ET.
LeBron, the 40-year-old Los Angeles Lakers star is set to begin his record 23rd NBA season, and the cryptic clip—styled as a nod to his 2010 “The Decision”—has fans wondering if a retirement announcement is imminent or if it’s clever marketing.
The immediate ripple effect has been at the box office: prices for the Lakers’ final regular-season home game on April 12, 2026 vs. the Utah Jazz at Crypto.com Arena surged after the post.
According to Vivid Seats data cited by ESPN, the get-in price jumped from $82 to around $580 for single seats, with two seats starting near $760; other resale platforms also reported spikes. Ticket listings confirm the Jazz matchup on that date.
Whatever James announces, the Lakers’ immediate horizon is clear: they open the 2025-26 season on Oct. 21 against Golden State at Crypto.com Arena. For now, the league’s all-time scoring leader has turned a two-minute teaser into the NBA’s first must-watch moment of the year.
