LeBron James links up with Victor Wembanyama at the NBA Summer League, fueling speculation about his Lakers future amid trade rumors.

The Los Angeles Lakers played their third game of the Las Vegas Summer League on Monday night and, despite falling to the Los Angeles Clippers 67–58, guard Bronny James delivered his best performance yet.

James was reportedly asked by ESPN if he wanted to share thoughts on picking up his $52.6 million player option and speculation surrounding a supposed strained relationship with ownership, but he declined. "I ain't got nothing to talk about," ESPN's Dave McMenamin said James told him off camera.
