LeBron James' All-NBA Streak in Jeopardy — Lakers

LeBron James risks missing an All‑NBA spot for the first time in 22 years after sitting out the season’s first 14 games with right‑side sciatica. The NBA’s 65‑game minimum means he can only miss three more games; he’d need to appear in “64 of the Lakers' remaining 67 games” to stay eligible. ESPN’s Dave McMenamin notes it may come down to health — and “his desire to keep his All‑NBA streak alive.” Coach JJ Redick says the team will use “daily communication” and called this “uncharted territory.” Merlin sees a crossroads: the record streak is sacred, but so is a 41‑year‑old body. The coming Nov. 30–Dec. 1 back‑to‑back with New Orleans and Phoenix is a small prophecy — how LeBron handles it will reveal if priority is longevity, team goals, or another milestone chase.
