Illinois held VCU to 35 percent shooting, dominated the glass 45-29 and now move on to face Houston in the South Region.

    Stephen Curry is moving closer to a return after the Warriors said he will begin participating in full team practices in the coming days.

    LeBron James took sole possession of the NBA regular-season games played record by starting his 1,612th career game. The milestone added another historic mark to a career already defined by unmatched longevity and a record book few players have come close to matching. James broke the tie with Robert Parish after previously matching the record, doing so in his 23rd NBA season. He said the achievement was never a specific target, but acknowledged that many of the records and milestones reached in recent years have been especially meaningful.

    LeBron James’ career is being framed as one of the most statistically complete and durable in NBA history, with records spanning scoring, playoff success, longevity and age-based milestones. His growing total of achievements has placed him alongside Wilt Chamberlain as one of the league’s defining record book figures. The case is built on James combining elite production with unmatched longevity across 23 seasons, including all-time marks in points and deep playoff output. With another major appearance record now within reach, his profile stands apart because he has dominated as scorer, passer, rebounder and iron man across multiple eras.

    Detroit believe they can make a real playoff run despite lingering doubts around their postseason inexperience and Cade Cunningham’s injury setback. The Pistons have already reached 50 wins and remain firmly in the race for the top seed in the East. Jalen Duren has continued to drive Detroit forward with major performances, while the team has stayed competitive even after Cunningham’s collapsed-lung diagnosis. Their blend of youth, depth and confidence under J.B. Bickerstaff has turned them from a first-round team into one expecting more.

    LeBron James tied Robert Parish’s all-time NBA regular-season games-played record by appearing in his 1,611th game during the Lakers’ win over Miami. The mark adds another major longevity milestone to a career already packed with league records. Reuters reported that James matched the record nearly 30 years after Parish set it, with Parish himself praising LeBron’s discipline and fitness. James remains the league’s all-time scoring leader and continues to perform at an elite level deep into his forties.

    The Lakers and Celtics have built similar records through very different profiles, with Boston dominating on overall point differential and Los Angeles excelling in clutch situations. The contrast has sharpened debate over whether late-game execution or broader control is the stronger indicator for playoff success. NBA.com noted that Boston entered at 46-23 with a plus-8.1 net rating, while the Lakers were 44-25 with a far smaller plus-1.2 mark but the league’s best clutch record at 20-6. The split suggests the Celtics have been more convincing overall, while the Lakers have repeatedly found ways to close tight games.

    March 2026

    Cade Cunningham has been ruled out for at least two weeks after Detroit confirmed he suffered a mild collapsed lung. The injury is a major blow for the Pistons during the run-in and also puts his eligibility for major postseason awards in serious doubt. Cunningham was initially reported to have back spasms after leaving the Washington game early, but further evaluation revealed the lung injury. Detroit is optimistic he can return before the playoffs, though the timeline means he is set to miss multiple regular-season games and may fall short of the 65-game awards threshold.
