He grabbed his 10th rebound with 2:06 to play and checked out moments later, wrapping up another sensational game in his unprecedented 23rd NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>James is headed to the All-Star Game this weekend after being selected for the 22nd time. He got his most recent triple-double on Feb. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Naji Marshall and Max Christie scored 19 points apiece for the Mavericks, who lost their ninth straight to fall into their longest skid in 28 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>NBA scoring leader Luka Doncic didn\u2019t suit up against his former team, missing his fourth straight game for the Lakers with a mild hamstring strain. Star rookie Cooper Flagg sat out with a sprained foot for Dallas that will prevent him from participating in All-Star weekend at nearby Intuit Dome.<\/p>\n<p>James and Austin Reaves sat out the Lakers\u2019 loss to San Antonio on Tuesday for health maintenance, but both returned in a comfortable victory. Reaves had 18 points and six assists.<\/p>\n<p>Rui Hachimura scored 21 points for the Lakers, who have won seven of 11.<\/p>\n<p>Lakers coach JJ Redick said he expects Doncic to return after the All-Star break. Redick didn\u2019t know whether the Slovenian superstar will play in the All-Star Game after leading the NBA in votes.<\/p>\n<p>Up next<\/p>\n<p>Mavericks: At Minnesota on Friday, Feb. 20.<\/p>\n<p>Lakers: Host the Clippers on Friday, Feb. 20.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP NBA: <a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nba\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/NBA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 LeBron James became the oldest player in NBA history with a triple-double when he&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":604570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3790],"tags":[1013,7,160,225,149,1331,10131,4034,1698,300,4044,185,251,150,4033,4043,368,7139,5989,6,446,1012,75525,66,2098,582],"class_list":{"0":"post-604569","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-lakers","8":"tag-austin-reaves","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-cooper-flagg","12":"tag-dallas-mavericks","13":"tag-j-j-redick","14":"tag-karl-malone","15":"tag-la","16":"tag-la-lakers","17":"tag-lakers","18":"tag-lalakers","19":"tag-lebron-james","20":"tag-los-angeles","21":"tag-los-angeles-lakers","22":"tag-losangeles","23":"tag-losangeleslakers","24":"tag-luka-doncic","25":"tag-max-christie","26":"tag-naji-marshall","27":"tag-nba","28":"tag-nba-basketball","29":"tag-rui-hachimura","30":"tag-send-to-apple-news","31":"tag-sports","32":"tag-texas","33":"tag-tx-state-wire"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116074866702161073","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=604569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/604569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/604570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=604569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=604569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=604569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
