LeBron James made his season debut in the Los Angeles Lakers' 140-126 victory over the Utah Jazz, becoming the first NBA player to appear in 23 seasons. The 40-year-old recorded 11 points, 12 assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes after missing the first 14 games due to sciatica. James emphasized quick decision-making and fitting seamlessly into the team's structure.
