At 41 years and 44 days old, LeBron James set a new NBA record as the oldest player to register a triple-double. He eclipsed Karl Malone's record during a 124-104 win against Dallas, finishing with 12 assists, 10 rebounds, and 28 points. The performance delivered his 123rd career triple-double and ended a long wait since February 2025, while helping Los Angeles secure a convincing home victory.
