Since arriving in Los Angeles in 2018, James has donned No. 23, which had also been his jersey number throughout his tenure with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Starting next season, James will revert to No. 6, the number he wore during when he played for the Miami Heat. It is also the same jersey number he will rep in “Space Jam: A New Legacy.”
James will be playing in his 19th season next season. After a disappointing end to the 2020-21 season, the four-time MVP will look to help his team get back on track and return to title contention next year.
