Los Angeles Lakers fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as it appears LeBron James will not be going anywhere this season.
After trade rumours started to circulate following a cryptic hourglass tweet from the 20-time NBA All-Star on Wednesday, James' agent Rich Paul put a stop to any rumours on Friday.
"LeBron won't be traded, and we aren't asking to be," Paul told ESPN's Brian Windhorst on Friday.
The news comes with Los Angeles 25-25 and ninth in the Western Conference.
According to Windhorst, the Lakers have been active in trade talks over the past month and will certainly be looking to give a boost to their squad before next Thursday's deadline.
In his 21st season, the 39-year-old is averaging 24.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.7 assists through 44 games.
James became the first 20-time All-star in NBA history this season, breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record of 19 selections.
