Magic Still Undecided About His Future Plans Concerning Comeback

Magic Johnson’s agent says the former NBA star still hasn’t decided whether to return to the Los Angeles Lakers.

In a story in Saturday’s Boston Globe, Johnson seemed to strongly indicate that he wouldn’t return to the Lakers, saying he wanted to concentrate on his new movie theater complex in Los Angeles.

But his agent, Lon Rosen, said Saturday Johnson’s remarks were taken out of context.

“He didn’t say he wasn’t coming back. What Earvin said was, if he didn’t come back, his business ventures, including the theaters, would be a reason why,” Rosen said. “There has not been a decision.

“He will be making a decision soon. It will probably come in the next couple of weeks.”

Johnson will turn 36 next month.
