LA Lakers: Frank Vogel Playing LeBron “As Little As Possible”

At the moment, James is averaging a career-low in minutes at 34.7 per game. This makes sense as James is already 34 years old and playing his 17th season in the NBA. Plenty of rest keeps the king fresh.

Considering how much they will need James come playoff time, it’s only logical that they would be managing his minutes in the regular season.

All the more impressive, James has had the best start of his entire career with the Lakers as their current record is 24-3, tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for best record in the NBA.
