James briefly touched on the subject after Los Angeles’ season-ending loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves last Wednesday, but made a new announcement about it on Thursday. “Obviously, No. 1 is to get back healthy,” James said on the Mind the Game podcast.

The first episode of LeBron James's Mind the Game podcast since the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs was released on Thursday. With new co-host Steve Nash, LeBron discussed the Lakers' loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves are set to face the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Semifinals. The Warriors secured a 99-88 victory in Game 1, despite losing star player Stephen Curry to a Grade 1 hamstring strain early in the game.
