LeBron James hits NBA milestone

James' achievement comes at a critical time for the Lakers, who are currently dealing with injuries to key starters Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

Despite the setbacks, the team has maintained a strong run of form, winning nine of their last ten games.

James praised his teammates' resilience and emphasized his readiness to take on a larger role as the postseason approaches.

The Lakers' seeding remains at play as they head into the final day of the regular season, which will determine their first-round opponent.
