LeBron James fuelled further speculation over Kyrie Irving's future by 'liking' a mocked-up photo of his former team-mate in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey.
Boston Celtics point guard Irving could opt out of his contract and become a free agent on June 30.
If James' social-media activity is anything to go by, the Lakers superstar would relish a reunion with his ex-Cleveland Cavaliers colleague.
The four-time NBA MVP reacted positively to an image of Irving in a Lakers top posted on Instagram on Friday.

Such a reunion would have once seemed unlikely, but Irving is reportedly more open to reuniting with James.
The Celtics star revealed in January he apologised to James for being "that young player that wanted everything at his fingertips" in Cleveland.
