LeBron passes Kareem for all-time field goals, exits briefly with sore elbow in Lakers loss
LeBron James
March 2026
LeBron set the NBA record for career field goals (15,838) but the Lakers lost 120-113, and he finished with a sore left elbow after a fourth-quarter collision. The record came on a first-quarter turnaround jumper; later he hurt his elbow on a layup after contact with Jokic, sat briefly, returned late, and said it felt like a “funny bone” issue to monitor over the next few days.
