INGLEWOOD, Calif. — LeBron James didn’t announce plans to retire Sunday before the 2026 NBA All-Star Game. He was voted to a spot in his 22nd All-Star Game, a league record, as a reserve by the league’s coaches. In the Lakers’ final game before the All-Star break, James became the oldest player in the NBA to record a triple-double. Not quite sure how many games we’ve had when we’ve had a full roster. We are over the halfway point, and there’s not been many games,” James said.
