LeBron James Could Have Opened 24th NBA Season At Madison Square Garden
LeBron James was in a plausible scenario to open his 24th NBA season at Madison Square Garden in New York, with his agent suggesting the Knicks would have been his first free agency choice.
Wichita Falls & Lawton, TX, October 20, 2026 —
LeBron James was described as having a plausible path to opening his 24th NBA season at Madison Square Garden in New York, in a scenario involving the Knicks. His agent suggested that New York would have been James’ first choice in free agency.
The information presents a possible outcome, not a confirmed move. It does not say that James joined the Knicks or that he was set to begin the season at Madison Square Garden. The agent’s suggestion concerns what James’ first free-agency choice would have been; the circumstances behind that preference were not provided.
The account does not identify the agent, provide a direct quotation, or give a date for the remarks. It also does not specify which season or free-agency period the scenario concerned. No contract details, negotiations, or explanation of why the Knicks might have been James’ preferred destination were included.
As a result, the available information supports only a limited conclusion: a Knicks scenario was considered plausible, and James’ agent indicated that New York would have been his first free-agency choice. Whether the possibility advanced beyond that scenario is not stated.
