LeBron James ties NBA record for most regular-season games played

MIAMI, United States (AFP) — Basketball superstar LeBron James tied the NBA record for most regular-season games played as his Los Angeles Lakers took on the Miami Heat on Thursday.

James took the court for his 1,611th regular-season game, equalling Hall of Famer Robert Parish’s record, and can break the mark when the Lakers visit Orlando on Saturday.

James, playing his unprecedented 23rd season, already holds a host of NBA records, including points scored, field goals made and field goals attempted.

His latest milestone comes in a return to Miami, where he played for four seasons and won the first two of his four NBA titles.

The 41-year-old is coming off a 30-point performance on spectacular 13-of-14 shooting in the Lakers’ win at Houston on Wednesday.

After a quick turnaround that saw the Lakers arrive in Miami at 4 a.m. on Thursday morning James was listed as “questionable” on early injury reports before he was confirmed as available.

The Lakers have won seven straight games to surge from sixth to third in the Western Conference.
