Lakers' LeBron James: Double-doubles in Game 4 defeat
LeBron James supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes in Monday's 115-110 Game 4 loss to the Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals.James scored 14 of his 24 points in the second half and finished as Los Angeles' third-leading scorer in Monday's season-ending loss. The superstar also dominated on the glass, grabbing a game- and series-best 12 rebounds en route to his third double-double of the postseason. After being swept by the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, the 41-year-old will enter unrestricted free agency this offseason. He averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes per contest across 60 regular-season games in 2025-26, and he still appears to have plenty left in the tank if he decides to play next season.

Lakers' LeBron James: Tallies 19 points in Game 3 defeat
LeBron James recorded 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-108 loss to the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.James and the Los Angeles Lakers' offense struggled during Saturday's loss, with the future Hall of Famer going 5-for-16 from the field through the first three quarters. He still put together a balanced stat line and finished second on the Lakers in points, assists and rebounds. The Lakers find themselves down 3-0 in the series, and a loss Monday in Game 4 would eliminate them from postseason contention. It's fair to wonder if a loss Monday would be the last time James dons a Lakers jersey, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
