Stephen A. Smith says Cavaliers require LeBron James return
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the New York Knicks 121-108 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on May 24, 2027, falling behind 3-0 in the series.
Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN personality, stated that the Cavaliers need LeBron James to rejoin the team to bring greater accountability and leadership if the franchise is to win a title.
James, who played for the Cavaliers earlier in his career, has not announced his plans after the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated from the playoffs. He said he will discuss his future with his family before deciding.
One more Knicks victory would advance New York to the NBA Finals.
