LeBron James Says There Is 'a Possibility' He Plays in 2020 Tokyo Olympics

James LeBron James will not participate in the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China, but there is a shot he suits up for Team USA in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, he told Joe Vardon of The Athletic

"Yeah, that's a possibility," LeBron told Vardon. "It depends on how I feel. I love the Olympics."

In three previous trips to the Olympics, James has collected two gold medals (2008 and 2012) and a bronze (2004).

James is in the midst of the season in which he played the fewest games of his career. The Lakers announced that they will be shutting down the four-time MVP who missed an extended part of the season due to a groin injury and had to be convinced to stop playing for the rest of this season.
