Speaking to reporters after the Los Angeles Lakers' 103-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference playoffs (starts at 1:10 mark), James admitted he's undecided about how much longer he will keep playing:

The fatigue was most clear during the final stages of games. In Game 4, head coach JJ Redick made the shortsighted decision to leave LeBron and the starters in for the entirety of the second half. They predictably faltered during that time, as James scored just five points after scoring 22 in the first half and the Wolves earned a comeback win.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards shared his thoughts on LeBron James after eliminating the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 5 of the 2024–25 NBA Playoffs.
