Lakers star LeBron James scored 17 points once morest the Jazz in the mid-season championship. He has scored 39,000 touchdowns in his career. He still has the opportunity to challenge the 40,000-point mark this season. With James averaging 25.7 points per game, the fastest he can reach 40,000 points is around Game 54, in mid-February next year. However, this is only possible if James does not rest at all. Judging from the situation in recent years, James definitely needs to rest for a few games.
The league strictly restricts “rest” for stars this season, but senior stars can be exempted. The criteria are that they are 35 years old or older at the beginning of the season, or have accumulated 34,000 minutes in the regular season, or have played 1,000 games (including playoffs). So James is allowed to rest. James will be 39 years old at the end of the year. He has played 1,435 regular season games, 282 playoff games, and 54,564 minutes in the regular season, far exceeding all thresholds set by the league.

Warriors stars Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and Suns star Kevin Durant are all allowed to rest because they are over 35 years old. 34-year-old Clippers star James Harden is also allowed to rest because he has experienced many battles. Rest allowed. Harden has played 1,007 regular season games and 34,976 minutes in his career. He is a famous iron man in the league. James played 45, 56, and 55 regular season games in each of the first three seasons. Taking into account rests and possible injuries, it is still difficult to reach the 40,000-point mark this season.
Kawhi Leonard, the “health guru” targeted by the rest regulations, is 32 years old. He has played 777 games (including playoffs) and 20,177 minutes in the regular season, all of which are below the rest threshold.
