The Miami Heat said a live-stream link titled "LeBron James Introductory Press Conference" was posted by mistake to the team's YouTube channel.

The post, which included the date July 27, was later deleted. A team spokesperson told ESPN on Tuesday night that the club's social media department had been preparing for the possibility of the superstar forward rejoining the Heat and errantly published the link.

James, 41, who won two NBA championships in four seasons with Miami from 2010-14, is a free agent for the first time since 2018 after announcing last month that he would not re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Potential landing spots for the league's all-time leading scorer other than Miami reportedly include the Philadelphia 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers (another former team) and the Golden State Warriors.

James averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds in 60 games with the Lakers in 2025-26. The four-time NBA champion owns career averages of 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists in a record 1,622 games over 23 seasons.
