Which NBA team did LeBron James play for during the 2018–19 season?

LeBron James played for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2018–19 season.

James joined Los Angeles in the summer of 2018 after opting out of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He signed a four-year deal and began his first Lakers season in October, opening a new chapter after four seasons in Cleveland and four seasons with the Miami Heat earlier in his career.

The 2018–19 Lakers featured James alongside young players including Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and Kyle Kuzma, plus veterans such as Rajon Rondo and JaVale McGee. James averaged 27.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8.3 assists in 55 games, but a groin injury caused him to miss substantial time.

Los Angeles finished 37–45 and missed the playoffs, ending James’s streak of 13 consecutive postseason appearances. The season is often remembered as a disappointing team campaign, but it marked the start of his ongoing Lakers tenure and preceded the franchise’s 2020 championship.
