Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been a mainstay in the NBA awards cycle for two decades, but that run could come to an end this season.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — LeBron James sat at his locker — having just scored 30 points in 33 minutes to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Pelicans on Tuesday night — when the subject of his availability to play the next night in San Antonio came up.

Bill Livingston, a longtime sports columnist with the Cleveland Plain-Dealer and the author of The Promise of LeBron James: The Rise, Fall from Grace, and Redemption of Ohio's Own, died Friday. He was 79.

LeBron James, in his last three games, has been hooping. In this short spurt, he is averaging 29 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds. In all three of these games, he covered the over on his 35.5 pts+rebs+asts.

LeBron James says age has brought him a new level of appreciation for being an NBA player. The 41-year-old holds the record for most NBA seasons played.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James made it clear Tuesday that there is no guarantee he will play in back-to-back games at any point this season.

LeBron James did not play in Wednesday night's 107-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs with the Los Angeles Lakers citing multiple injuries for the 41-year-old star. James was downgraded to out about an hour and a half before tipoff because of left foot joint arthritis and right sciatica.
