LeBron James faces scoring slump not seen since rookie season

LeBron James is experiencing a scoring slump, failing to reach 20 points in four consecutive games. This is his longest stretch under 20 points since his rookie season in 2003-04. In a recent game, James scored 12 points on 5-of-13 shooting during the Lakers' 101-93 loss to the Thunder. He is shooting just 42 percent from the field and 17 percent from three-point range during this slump. The Lakers have struggled as a result, with a record of 1-3 in these games. James is averaging his lowest points per game since his rookie year, raising concerns about his performance as the team heads into a challenging road trip.
