The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are set for a highly anticipated regular-season contest on Wednesday night.

All eyes will be on Luka Doncic as he returns to the American Airlines Center for the first time since the Mavericks shipped him to Los Angeles in a shocking blockbuster trade earlier this year.

Though the focus is on Doncic for Wednesday’s primetime matchup, Lakers superstar LeBron James is also set to record yet another historic accomplishment.

Wednesday’s contest marks James’ 1,561st regular-season game. When he takes the court, he’ll pass fellow Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for solo second on the NBA‘s all-time list.

Robert Parish hold the all-time record for regular-season game appearances with 1,611.

“LeBron James is set to play in his 1,561st regular-season game when the Lakers visit the Mavericks tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN,” the NBA wrote in an announcement on X. “James will pass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for sole possession of second place on the all-time games played list, behind No. 1 Robert Parish (1,611).”

James, 40, is playing in his 22nd NBA season since entering the league as the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ No. 1 overall pick in 2003. The veteran forward holds countless NBA records thanks to his elite play and longevity, including the league’s all-time scoring record.
