LeBron James Returns to the Court with the Lakers: Record in his 23rd Season<\/h2>\n\nLakers superstar LeBron James made his season debut in the 140-126 victory against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, marking the start of his 23rd season, a league record.\n\nJames demonstrated his worth with 11 points, 12 assists, and 3 rebounds in 30 minutes of play, contributing to the Lakers scoring 140 points, their season high. In the third quarter, he made a layup that extended his streak of double-digit scoring games to 1,293 games, a record that spans all games played since January 6, 2007.\n\n\n

\u201cI just thought he played with the right spirit. Very unselfish all night. He was willing to pass the ball, didn\u2019t force anything, made his drives and shots when they were available,\u201d Lakers coach JJ Redick commented. \u201cThe defense is going to pay attention to him, particularly when he has the ball in the post, especially when he\u2019s driving to the rim, and I thought he made a lot of good decisions tonight. It\u2019s really good to have him back.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJJ Redick, Lakers Coach<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nJames, 40 years old, was out of the courts for the first 14 games of the season due to sciatica, a nerve problem that affected his lower back and the right side of his body.\n\nWith his participation against the Jazz, James became the first player in NBA history to play 23 seasons, surpassing Vince Carter’s record. He quickly found his rhythm, putting on a display of play in the second half, as the Lakers pulled away from Utah.\n\n\n

\u201cAfter the game, waiting for the guys to get back to the locker room, I think the word we were using as a coaching staff was our composure as a group,\u201d Redick said. “Not overreacting, not separating ourselves, solving problems, all of that in real time, and just continuing to play. And that was sometimes lacking last year.”<\/p>\n\nJJ Redick, Lakers Coach<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nJames’ return came after a rehabilitation assignment with the G League’s South Bay Lakers last week, while the team was on a five-game road trip and after going through consecutive days of practice without experiencing any lingering pain.\n\nJames, already the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, entered Tuesday 50 games away from Robert Parish of the Boston Celtics for the all-time lead in games played and is now 496 assists away from Jason Kidd for the number 3 spot on the all-time list.\n\nJames didn’t score in his first 11 minutes on the court, but his two three-pointers in the first half put him ahead of Indiana Pacers shooter Reggie Miller for 6th place on the all-time list.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
