Los Angeles Lakers legend LeBron James has etched his name in NBA history by becoming the first player to play in a record 23rd season. The 21-time All-Star made his highly anticipated return to the court on Tuesday night at the Crypto.com Arena against the Utah Jazz. James had been sidelined with sciatica issues that kept him out of the Lakers' first 14 games of the 2025-26 season. After practicing with the team on Monday, James took the court for his first 5-on-5 action since the team's playoff exit in April. In a remarkable display, James played 5 minutes and 30 seconds before taking a seat on the bench. He returned to the court late in the first quarter, marking a triumphant comeback against the Jazz. With this debut, James is now 48 games shy of Robert Parish's record for most regular-season games played. The NBA's all-time leading scorer has already achieved numerous milestones, including becoming the first player to score 50,000 points in the regular season and playoffs combined in March 2023. James' remarkable career has been a testament to his dedication and perseverance. As he continues to shatter records, fans and fellow players alike are in awe of his incredible achievements. The Lakers' star will look to build on this momentum as the season unfolds, and basketball enthusiasts are eager to see what the future holds for this NBA legend.
