LeBron James returned to the court for the Los Angeles Lakers with an impressive performance, scoring 30 points in their 123-118 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at home. Despite missing the Lakers’ previous two games to rest a sore ankle, James showcased his versatility with nine assists and seven rebounds. Anthony Davis contributed 28 points and 13 rebounds to secure the win for the Lakers, bringing their record to 31-27.
On the opposing side, Victor Wembanyama displayed remarkable skill, tallying 27 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists, along with five blocked shots and five steals. This exceptional performance made him the youngest player in NBA history to achieve a ‘5×5’ statistical feat, recording at least five points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals in a single game.
LeBron James praised the French rookie, emphasizing his limitless potential, “He doesn’t have a ceiling. He can do whatever he wants to do in his career. I said a long time ago how special he was, and it’s really that simple.”
