James registered 28 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 12-13 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 143-135 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Although James tweaked his knee and was knocked in the jaw during the second quarter, he kept playing and finished with his third double-double of the season. Since his 14-game absence to begin the season, James has taken a seat for at least one game during back-to-back sets and logged only 10 appearances, but the Lakers have no back-to-back scenarios until 2026. James should continue his regular contributions for the remainder of the year.
