The Orlando Magic are coming to California to play the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. 

Tonight is the second night of a back-to-back. The first night, they lost to the Sacramento Kings 132-127 in overtime. 

James is playing in his 1,425th game of his career, which moves him ahead of Kevin Willis for eighth place on the all-time list of regular season games played. 

Kevin Garnett is the next person James will pass (1,462). The Lakers have lost their first three games of the season. James has averaged 23 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 57.1% from the field. 

The 19-time All-Star is in his 21st season in the NBA and sixth with the Lakers. At age 38, he is still one of the best players in the game. 

James had a great season last year, averaging 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game while hitting 50.0% from the field and 32.1% from three-point range. 

The next game for the Lakers is Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. It comes after their game against the Magic. They had a 43–39 record and were the seventh seed in the Western Conference last year. 

And even though they made it to the Conference Finals, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets beat them all. 

Six times, James has taken the Lakers to the NBA playoffs. In 2020, they beat the Miami Heat to win the NBA title.
