November 29, 2023

On a night when LeBron James set the NBA record for most minutes all-time (regular season and playoffs), the NBA legend had the biggest loss of his career. On Monday night in Philadelphia, James had 18 points and five assists in a 138-94 Lakers loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.

James meanwhile, now has 66, 318 career minutes. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has the old record with 66,297 minutes. James is third all-time in regular season minutes with 54,665. Abdul-Jabbar is the all-time leader with 57,446, and Karl Malone is second with 54,852.
The 44-point loss is the fifth worst loss in Lakers’s history. The biggest loss in Lakers’s franchise history came on January 22, 2017 as Los Angeles was spanked 122-73 by the Dallas Mavericks in a 49-point loss. The Lakers also lost by 48 points to the Los Angeles Clippers (142-94 on March 6, 2014), 48 points again to the Utah Jazz (123-75 on March 28, 2016) and by 46 points to the Portland Trail Blazers (129-83 on January 9, 1995).
