LeBron James has officially surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the all-time leader in regular-season minutes played, achieving a total of 57,471 minutes. Following the Lakers' 113-100 victory over the Sacramento Kings, James received playful ribbing from teammates about his age.

Despite being the oldest active player in the NBA and showing signs of aging, James has returned from a brief injury absence to lead the Lakers to three wins in their last four games. Coach JJ Redick and teammate Anthony Davis praised his leadership and impact on the court.
