Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James further extended his seemingly insurmountable NBA scoring record. During Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics, James became the first player in NBA history to reach 43,000 career points. James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's previous record of 38,387 points in 2023, and he has yet to lose a step.

With Boston navigating injuries and a packed schedule, Brown’s absence could reshape the Celtics’ short-term strategy and his growing MVP narrative.
