LeBron James Makes Historic Debut in Lakers' Win; Broncos on the Move in Pete Prisco's NFL Power Rankings
LeBron James led the Lakers with 12 assists and strong defense in a comeback win as Utah Jazz scored only 36 points in the second half, Lakers said.
- On Tuesday, LeBron James returned to the Los Angeles Lakers and made his season debut after missing 14 games with sciatica, recording 11 points, 12 assists, and three rebounds in 30 minutes during the 140-point game against Utah Jazz.
- Last week, James practiced with the Lakers' G‑League affiliate while the team was on the road, then after back-to-back pain-free sessions he rejoined Lakers practice on Monday.
- James hit a milestone 3-pointer and continued to impact the game as he made the 2,561st regular-season 3-pointer, passing Miller and producing vintage transition plays.

- Analysts say James is evolving into a back-to-the-basket playmaker while Quinn urges him to let Dončić assume more hero moments for optimal roster function.
