LeBron James is switching again to No. 23 for the 2023-24 NBA season.
James, 38, wore No. 6 the previous two seasons in honor of Bill Russell.
The NBA, for the primary time ever, retired Russell’s No. 6 final August after his dying. However, James, then and now, was grandfathered to put on it since he had been already.

James additionally wore No. 6 for the 4 seasons he performed in Miami.
