LeBron James has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Spurs, marking his 18th missed game this season and preventing him from reaching the 65-game threshold needed for NBA awards eligibility. This will end his remarkable streak of 21 consecutive All-NBA selections, despite his impressive averages of 21.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game. The NBA’s 65-game rule, established in the 2023-24 season, has faced criticism, especially as other stars like Nikola Jokić also face significant absences. As a result, players who may not have had better seasons than LeBron will be eligible for end-of-season awards while he will not.
