LeBron James said after the LA Lakers's win over the Sacramento Kings that he is unconcerned about the minutes he is playing this season.
James is second in the NBA in minutes per game this season at 36.9, behind Fred VanVleet of the Toronto Raptors. James played 36 minutes in the Lakers' gutsy 122-114 win over the Kings on Tuesday night at the Crypto.com Arena.
In the postgame interview, James was asked if he was comfortable playing almost 37 minutes a night for the rest of the season. 'The King' replied that he's comfortable playing heavy minutes, and is ready to help the Lakers to win at any cost.
"I've always put myself in a position where I can play heavy minutes and do whatever it takes to help this team win," James said.
James also praised Frank Vogel and David Fizdale for managing his minutes well throughout the season. The Lakers are currently without Anthony Davis till the end of the month, which has put a lot of pressure on James to carry the Lakers.
The 37-year-old superstar added that he's feeling great despite the heavy minutes this season. He said that he's used to playing heavy minutes in games during his career.
