FANS are beginning to wonder if an NBA teams YouTube account accidentally revealed LeBron James long-awaited free agent decision.
But the NBA franchise has responded to the reaction to their now-deleted post.
James has yet to make his free agent decision as several teams, including the Miami Heat, are in the running to sign the NBA legend.
But the Heats YouTube page published a video before quickly deleting it titled LeBron James Introductory press conference, along with the date of July 27, 2026.
Its now been reported that the teams social media department accidentally published the video, which was set in case he chose to sign with the Heat, not that the team knew James actual choice, per the Miami Herald.
A team spokesperson confirmed that to ESPN.
Read More on NBA James has been a free agent for more than three weeks and his decision might not happen until next month.
Nonetheless, the Heats deleted YouTube video has only led fans to believe he will return to the franchise for a second time.
I think its intentional, one fan wrote on X.
Back in MIAMI, another said.
That means James is there already, a third added.
James announced he was joining the Heat during a live ESPN special called The Decision 16 years ago.
He would play four seasons with the team and win two NBA Finals MVPs and earn two MVP awards.
If James were to take his talents to South Beach a second time, he would play with newly acquired superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
LeBron is on a quest for his fifth championship ring as he prepares for a 24th season in the NBA.
The Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are reportedly the teams to be in the running to sign the legendary player.
