Midway through a win over the Dallas Mavericks that will go down as one of their best victories of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers got a bit of a scare when LeBron James fell to the ground and grabbed his right foot/ankle area, and appeared to be yelling “I heard a pop” when lip reading from the broadcast.
James stayed in the game after getting treatment from his trainer Mike Mancias — and made several key plays down the stretch for the Lakers despite looking a bit limited physically — but it was a nervy moment for anyone who is hoping for a playoff push from this group.
