Basketball player posts workout video hours before free agency decision

A basketball player posted videos of an early-morning workout on his Instagram account Tuesday. The footage showed him lifting weights and performing plyometric drills while listening to music. At one point he removed his shirt for a mirror selfie that displayed his midsection. He captioned one image with the phrase “Go hard or go home” and noted the session occurred around 5:51 a.m.

Agent statement follows workout Shortly afterward the player’s agent contacted media outlets to state that the player would not wear his current team’s uniform in 2026. A league reporter said the team had expressed interest in re-signing the player, but he chose to enter free agency instead.

The player joined the team via free agency in 2018 and appeared in the All-Star game each of the next eight seasons.

Career statistics and reported options During those seasons he averaged 26.9 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. League sources listed three other teams as possible destinations once free agency opens later Tuesday. The player remains the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
