LeBron James’ NBA future has become the subject of one of the most delicate balancing acts in the league. At 41, he remains productive, but not immune to scrutiny, with conversations about his fit with the Los Angeles Lakers carrying extra weight.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been a mainstay in the NBA awards cycle for two decades, but that run could come to an end this season.

It's no secret that Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey works out with Los Angeles Lakers star and NBA legend LeBron James. The two work out together in the summertime pushing each other to get better and take their respective games to another level and there is no better workout partner for Maxey than James.

Back-to-back wins can hide deeper issues, and that has been the case for the LA Lakers. Despite beating the Memphis Grizzlies twice, the Purple and Gold have struggled for consistency, going 4-4 over their last eight games as Austin Reaves remains sidelined.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made it clear Tuesday that there is no guarantee he will play in back-to-back games at any point this season.
