LeBron James continues to lean into branded content this season.

The 41-year-old will wear a patch on his Lakers jerseys to commemorate his record-setting 23rd NBA season. The patch will be removed after each game and inserted into a Topps trading card, the company announced Monday. 

James will wear the patch for the Lakers’ final 46 games of the 2025–26 season, starting Monday when the Lakers visit the Kings. The 21-time All-Star made his NBA debut in Sacramento in October 2003.

“Need some of these for my own collection @Topps!!! So dope,” James said on X/Twitter after the announcement.
