Resolved the physical problem that has kept him in the pits since the start of the regular season, LeBron James finally made his season debut. King James took the court, along with his LA Lakers, in the match against the Utah Jazz. For the four-time NBA Champion thus came the first appearance in what is his 23rd NBA season (none like him, an all-time record).

Hailed by the home crowd, LBJ put up 11 points, also topped by 12 assists, in the roughly 30 minutes he remained on the court. Thanks in part to his contribution, the Yellowviola won over the Jazz 140-126.

“I think he played with the right spirit. Very unselfish throughout the night. He passed the ball well, he didn&#8217t force it, he only took his shots when it was right to take them. It’s really good to have him back here”, the words of coach JJ Redick reported by ESPN.

Final trivia: LeBron James did not score in his first 11 minutes on the court, but the two triples he scored in the first half allowed him to surpass former Indiana Pacers All Star Reggie Miller’s Reggie Miller, moving him into sixth place on the all-time list in long-distance shooting.
