The former point guard and 2021 NBA champion with the Milwaukee Bucks, **Jeff Teague**, speculated that small forward and leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, **[LeBron James](https://www.championat.com/video/273298-lebron-silno-hromaet-posle-serii-plej-off-s-minnesotoj/)**, might be considering retirement from professional basketball.

“It seems like he’s hinting that he’s tired of playing. He’s been saying things like, ‘I’m passing the torch to the younger guys,’” Teague mentioned during a Club 520 podcast episode.

It’s worth noting that the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, losing 1-4 to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Over five playoff games, James averaged 25.4 points, nine rebounds, and 5.6 assists.
