When it comes to whether Luka Doncic will sign a contract extension to stay with the Lakers, LeBron James says he won't play a role.

All-Star Los Angeles Lakers power forward LeBron James had a solid individual showing against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a doomed five-game first round playoff series loss, but the 6-foot-9 superstar has a big decision to make this summer after coming up short in the first round for the second straight season.

According to Jovan Buha and Sam Amick of The Athletic, the 40-year-old is not expected to take a pay cut to accommodate the Lakers like he did last offseason when he took about $2.7 million less in order to help the team stay under the second salary apron.
