Lebron James has agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to media reports Wednesday.

The 37-year-old James had been entering the final season of his contract, and the deal eliminates concern that he could enter free agency next summer.

The extension makes the NBA superstar the highest-earning player in league history with $532 million in career guaranteed money, surpassing Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant, according to ESPN.
