Nearing the end of his postgame session with reporters, he made several cryptic comments about what might be next for him.However, according to a story on Bleacher Report, James is considering retirement. Citing unnamed league sources, the story by veteran reporter Chris Haynes indicates James will take his time deciding whether to play his 21st season in 2023-24.

Here’s what CHP wants you to do if you see drivers swerving all over the road

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 19:18:35 GMT

The Netherlands and Denmark, among others, are also making plans for such training. No decision on actually delivering fourth-generation fighter jets has been taken yet, but training...
