LeBron James is the latest celebrity to fire off a misleading tweet on April Fool’s Day. Moments ago, the four-time NBA champion announced that he’s out for the season.
“I’m out for the season officially,” James tweeted. “See y’all in the fall.”
Not many people believed this tweet from James, especially since the Los Angeles Lakers remain in the playoff picture. As of now, they’re tied for the 10th-best record in the Western Conference.
I’m out for the season officially. 🤦🏾♂️. See y’all in the fall. 👑✌🏾

James is nursing a sprained ankle at this time, but ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski recently said that James could return to the Lakers’ lineup as early as this Friday.
“As Anthony Davis — out since Feb. 16 with a foot sprain — progresses toward a game-time decision vs. New Orleans on Friday, LeBron James is hopeful to test out his ankle sprain and try to make a return to the lineup too, sources tell ESPN,” Wojnarowski tweeted.
James has been excellent this season, averaging 30.1 points, 8.2 assists and 6.3 assists per game. The Lakers, however, just haven’t found a way to recapture the magic from the 2019-20 season.
If the Lakers want to make a playoff run this year, they’ll need James on the floor at all times.
