"At 41 years and 44 days old, James broke the record held by Karl Malone, who recorded a triple-double for the Lakers when he was 40 years and 127 days old. But the top scorer in NBA history hadn't had a triple-double since Feb. 1, 2025, in New York. That day is better remembered in Lakers history for the late-night breaking news of the trade that brought Luka Doncic to the Lakers in a seismic trade for Anthony Davis."
"The NBA scoring leader missed his fourth straight game for the Lakers with a mild hamstring strain. James put up 14 points and six assists in the first quarter alone, and he had 18 points, eight assists and four rebounds by halftime. He topped double digits in assists during the third quarter, and he played the entire fourth quarter before grabbing the 10th rebound."
LeBron James recorded a triple-double at 41 years and 44 days, becoming the oldest player in NBA history to do so. He finished with 28 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds in a 124-104 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, earning a standing ovation after completing his 123rd career triple-double, fifth-most in league history. The mark surpassed Karl Malone's previous record. James had not posted a triple-double since Feb. 1, 2025. He was aggressive from the opening tip, scoring 14 first-quarter points and reaching double-digit assists in the third before securing the final rebound.
