"LeBron James has broken the record for most NBA seasons after appearing for the Los Angeles Lakers in his 23rd season after missing almost the first full month of the campaign due to sciatica. The 40-year-old superstar, a four-time NBA champion and four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, missed the Lakers' first 14 games before taking the court at home against Utah Jazz on Tuesday."
"James, the NBA's all-time scoring leader, practised with the Lakers on Monday and had no pain or soreness after his first game-style workout with the club since last season's playoffs. That set the stage for him to start against the Jazz, breaking a tie with Vince Carter for the most career seasons in NBA history. The home crowd cheered as James was introduced and moments later, James made history when the game tipped off."
"Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons stretched their longest winning streak since 2008 to 11 games with a 120-112 victory in Atlanta, snapping the Hawks' five-game winning streak. The Pistons, who lead the Eastern Conference at 13-2, got 25 points and 10 assists from Cade Cunningham and 24 points with eight rebounds from Jalen Duren. Jalen Johnson sparked Atlanta (9-6) with 25 points, nine rebounds and eight assists."
