LeBron James will miss Lakers’ game in Utah tomorrow because of ankle injury
LeBron James will miss his second straight recreation with a sprained ankle because the Lakers desperately attempt to keep within the race for a spot within the NBA’s postseason play-in match in Utah on Thursday.
James suffered the ankle damage within the first half of the Lakers’ loss in New Orleans on Sunday, badly limping postgame as he headed towards the group bus. He didn’t play within the Lakers loss’ to Dallas on Tuesday.
It’ll be the 21st recreation James has missed this season. The Lakers are 6-14 with James sidelined this season.
The Lakers are tied with San Antonio for 10th-place within the Western Convention, although the Spurs maintain the tiebreaking benefit. San Antonio begins a three-game homestand Wednesday when its hosts Memphis earlier than two straight with Portland.
Following Thursday’s recreation with the Jazz, the Lakers host New Orleans on Friday in a important recreation for his or her postseason hopes.
