LeBron James Notches 112th Career Triple-Double
12 months agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James completed his 21st regular-season campaign with his 112th career triple-double in Sunday's 124-108 win over New Orleans. James put on a playmaking clinic in the first quarter and finished with 17 times, as well as having 28 points and 11 rebounds. He shot 11-for-20 from the field and also produced a monster game defensively, racking up five steals with one block. James averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists for the year across 35.3 minutes. It wasn't enough to help the Lakers get a top-six seed in the West, but the team is well-placed to make the playoffs via the play-in tournament. The Lakers start the action on Tuesday against the Pelicans, whom they have dominated all season. James has averaged a 28-6-12 line in the matchup.

LeBron James Ready To Play Against Rockets
7 days agoLos Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will play in Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. He has been upgraded from probable to available.

James' scoring has been hampered by his poor 43.7 percent shooting efficiency. On Monday, James will face the league's fourth-most efficient defense, which may again hinder his offensive impact.
