LeBron James is already preparing for the 2025–26 NBA season.
One day after the Oklahoma City Thunder topped the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 to win the 2025 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers star was back to work. James took to Instagram and posted a video showing him in the middle of a serious on-court workout.
The caption reads:
Man it felt good to get back out there today for the first time since my MCL injury(Almost 8 weeks ago). Been at it with my rehab & training regiment to get back to form. Obviously not where I wanna be ultimately but off to a good start. Damn what a GREAT FEELING!! S/O my brother @kevinlove for allowing me to crash his workout! And also S/O @cbrickley603 for always looking out when I'm in the city!
James suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee during the Lakers' playoff series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He appears to be on the road to recovery.
There has been a lot of speculation about James's future, but it looks like he's already preparing for his 23rd NBA season.
