LeBron James’ recent absence for the Los Angeles Lakers marks the end of his unprecedented 21-year streak of making All-NBA teams, as he sits out against the San Antonio Spurs, bringing his total missed games this season to 18. Due to this, he will not meet the 65-game minimum required for league awards, a first since 2004. At 41, James is managing injuries, including left foot arthritis, while still averaging 21.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game this season. The Lakers currently hold a 32-20 record, placing them fifth in the Western Conference.
