The deal can increase to $111 million if the salary cap in 2023-2024 rises to a substantially higher number.

Woj: "BREAKING: Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has agreed on a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension – including a player option for the 2024-2025 season, @KlutchSports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN. James had been entering final year of deal worth $44.5M."

Last season, the Lakers went just 33-49, and finished as the 11th seed in the Western Conference.  

They missed the NBA Playoffs and play-in tournament. 

Next season, James will turn 38-years-old during the year, and it will be his 20th season playing in the NBA.

He signed with the Lakers in the summer of 2018, so it will be his fifth playing in Los Angeles.
