After playing one minute in the second quarter and nine minutes within the first thirteen minutes of the game, James officially surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the career minutes leader. Abdul-Jabbar had 66,297 minutes combined between the regular season and playoffs. James has officially spent more time on an NBA court than any other player in the history of the league.

On Monday, James had accumulated 66,289 minutes of play time, with 54,635 minutes in the regular season and 11,654 minutes in the playoffs. The man who won the NBA Finals and the league MVP award four times was already the all-time leader in playoff minutes for the league. He was also the only player in the league to accumulate at least 10,000 minutes of postseason action.

UPDATE ON THEREDDISH

Wing in the fifth year Cam Reddish was unable to play in his third consecutive game due to pain in his left adductor nerve.

However, Reddish was unable to participate in the next three quarters of the game because he sustained the injury during the first quarter of the game that was won by the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Approximately two hours before the game was scheduled to begin, he was ruled out of the game. He had been considered questionable for Monday’s game, just as he had been for Saturday’s victory away against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

“It’s getting better,” Coach Darvin Ham stated about the player. The man is making progress. It’s moving closer to him. Actually, he is really close to one another.”

Max Christie, a second-year guard, started the game on Monday as the primary defender against Tyrese Maxey, a four-year Sixers star guard. Maxey entered the game with an average of 26.4 points (46.1% shooting, 40.2% from 3-point range), 6.8 assists, and 4.9 rebounds. Reddish was not available to play.

Ham stated, “In terms of what I’ve seen, just what we’ve all come to know and love about Max is just his willingness to compete, take on tough assignments, and just a kid that’s going to be great in this league.” Max is a youngster who is going to be a wonderful player in this league,” Ham said. We are all of the opinion that he is setting the groundwork for what we believe will be a very successful and lengthy career.

Moreover, he is just beginning his journey. However, the thing that I adore about him is that he does not put the wagon before the horse. He is putting a lot of attention on the specifics of the game, including the minor things like defense, as well as delving into the preparation and research of those challenging matches. Simply said, it will only serve to improve him.Other players who are still unable to play include Rui Hachimura (nasal fracture), Jarred Vanderbilt (left heel bursitis, which is inflammation), and Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion, which is swelling of the joint).

ROOKIE DISCLOSURES

Jalen Hood-Schifino, a rookie guard, made his first appearance in a regular season game last night against the Philadelphia 76ers. He entered the game as a substitute late in the first quarter.

Due to a right patella contusion that he sustained during the Lakers’ preseason defeat to the Golden State Warriors on October 13, the player who was selected with the seventeenth overall choice in the NBA draft in June was sidelined for over a month.

The Lakers had the opportunity to use him in their previous four games, but
