The skyline in the picture is of New York City, which suggests James was in North Jersey.
Typically, Philadelphia-based athletes reside in South Jersey if they arenât in the city. If the New York Knicks popped back on LeBronâs radar, this would certainly be notable for them.

Itâs unclear if James will pay any visits to Philadelphia this week. He was recently spotted at a Jay-Z show, which took place in New York.
James is also expected to be in attendance for Fanatics Fest, which takes place from July 16-19.
The veteran forward will be on the East Coast for some time.

The 76ers have an open roster spot reserved for LeBron James.
Money wonât help them lure in the forward, as heâll have to take a lot less than last yearâs $52.6 million salary to play in Philadelphia.
Still, the 76ers have a strong standing in the legendâs market. They have one of the top starting lineups in the league with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, and Jaylen Brown.
James is familiar with Embiid, winning a gold medal with the star center two years ago. Heâs also a huge fan of Tyrese Maxey, and they are under the Klutch Sports umbrella.
