LeBron James is reportedly planning on sticking around to play with his new teammate Luka Dončić in Los Angeles.
“League sources inform me that LeBron James plans to intend a member of the Los Angeles Lakers past the February 6 trade deadline,” NBA insider Chris Haynes confirmed Sunday.

ESPN’s Dave McMenamin originally reported that James was “surprised” to learn about the Davis-Dončić trade.
