The San Antonio Spurs are considering signing LeBron James, according to NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer.
What happened?
The Spurs recently signed Tobias Harris and re-signed Julian Champagnie, which may affect their pursuit of James. Last result: San Antonio Spurs 90-94 New York Knicks (2026-06-14). Recent form: | Date | Result | | --- | --- | | 2026-06-14 | Lost to New York Knicks 90-94 | | 2026-06-12 | Lost to Chicago Bulls 85-92 | | 2026-06-10 | Lost to Boston Celtics 88-95 | | 2026-06-08 | Lost to Philadelphia 76ers 80-90 | | 2026-06-06 | Won against Toronto Raptors 95-88 |
Why it matters for San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs' recent signings may impact their chances of landing James, as they no longer have a significant need on the wing. Harris brings good positional size and secondary shotmaking, which should help the Spurs after their loss in the NBA Finals.
What comes next?
James would likely fit in as a connector, not a primary scorer and ball-handler, possibly playing off Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray in Denver or alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in Miami. With the Spurs, James would be relied on more as a playmaker, as Victor Wembanyama isn't on the ball as much. The Spurs should feel good about their roster heading into next season, even without James, after adding Harris and re-signing Champagnie. They will undoubtedly enter next season as one of the favorites to get back to the NBA Finals and win the title.
