LeBron James returns to LA hours before free agency opens
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- LeBron James was spotted by AIR7 HD landing at Van Nuys Airport on Saturday after a long flight from the Caribbean. He could be in Southern California longer than usual.
The basketball player arrived just hours before NBA free agency opened with the three-time champion as its most coveted prize.
It's important to note, however, that James is known to spend his summers in Los Angeles at one of his two homes.

No one will know anything until 9 p.m. PST at the earliest, when the NBA free agency window officially opens.
