The NBA has moved Saturday’s Lakers-Pelicans to ESPN2 as LeBron James closes in on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career record for most points. The move is consistent with Adam Silver’s previous statements on ensuring the moment will be on national television. Currently, James is 89 points away while averaging 30.2 points per game, making it more likely that Tuesday’s Lakers-Thunder matchup will be the moment he moves into first place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. The NBA has not yet announced how that matchup will be nationally televised. (NBA 2.2)
