LeBron James and the Lakers are now 2-0 after a big win over the Phoenix Suns at Crypto.com Arena. Kevin Durant and his team fought hard, but the Lakers came out on top with a 123-116 win over a top title contender. After the game, LeBron, who scored 21 points, shared his bold vision for the 2024-25 NBA season.
With four rebounds, eight assists, and two three-pointers in 35 minutes, LeBron James had a fantastic game. Interestingly, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer is aiming to play a full 82-game season this year. At 39, people were a bit concerned about whether he could handle playing back-to-back games, but he’s totally up for the challenge.
According to Lakers beat writer Jovan Buha of The Athletic, LeBron James said he will play tomorrow vs. Sacramento and plans on playing all 82 games this season barring injury.
James’ commitment to playing in all 82 games this season is a feat he last achieved during the 2017-18 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It will be interesting to see if he lives up to that commitment or not.
LeBron James headlines as NBA’s big three
