LeBron James has reportedly found another NBA star to join him in "Space Jam 2."
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson is "locked in" for a role in the upcoming movie, according to Jason McIntyre of Fox Sports Radio.
"I do believe an announcement will come out after the Finals that Klay Thompson is committed to 'Space Jam 2.' He will be in the movie," McIntyre said Saturday on "The Jason McIntyre Show."
Reports emerged in April that James was having trouble recruiting players for the movie and that certain NBA stars' sneaker contracts could impact casting due to Nike's ties to the "Space Jam" franchise.
Thompson, who has a shoe deal with Chinese-based brand Anta, discussed his love of the original "Space Jam" at the All-Star Game in February when asked to share his favorite Michael Jordan story.
"Favorite MJ story? Man, I don't know. My favorite MJ story is probably just 'Space Jam,'" he said. "I love that movie. That movie is timeless."
Filming for "Space Jam 2" is set to begin this summer.
