NBA: LeBron James sets new record in Los Angeles Lakers win over Sacramento Kings
LeBron James broke the record for the most minutes played in NBA history as he helped the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings.
The 39-year-old American surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar when he completed his 57,447th minute on court in the 113-100 victory on Friday.
James, who eclipsed Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA all-time scoring record earlier this year, scored 19 points while team-mate Austin Reaves led with 25 points.
“It’s just a commitment to the craft and to the passion and love I have for the game,” said James.
“I don’t take much time in the off-season, a little bit more time now.”
Elsewhere, Brooklyn Nets centre Nic Claxton was ejected from the court for throwing a ball into the crowd during his side’s 101-94 win over the Toronto Raptors.
Claxton showed his frustration after being fouled on his way to the basket before being escorted off court by officials after attempting to throw a cushion.
