The NBA itself is stuck waiting on LeBron James.Commissioner Adam Silver revealed Thursday that the league has not finalized its 2026-27 schedule because James’ free-agency decision still is unresolved — and his eventual destination will shape everything from opening week to Christmas Day.
“We have to finish up the schedule, and where LeBron plays will affect the schedule,” Silver told CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin at the CNBC Sport x Boardroom Game Plan Summit in New York. “So I would like him to make his announcement already, so we can finish the schedule — because, as you might imagine, the teams are calling us, the networks are calling us, and everybody wants to lock in the schedule.” Adam Silver says next season’s schedule is on hold until LeBron makes his decision
"We have to finish up the schedule and where LeBron plays affects the schedule … opening week, Christmas. So I need him to make a decision."
