LeBron James missed the Los Angeles Lakers' 118-111 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday because of tendinitis in his left ankle.

The loss was the Lakers' fourth straight defeat.

Thursday was the second time in the past two weeks that James has sat out the second leg of a back-to-back, also resting for Los Angeles' 122-119 road victory against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Lakers lost to the Chicago Bulls 124-108 on Wednesday, with James posting 25 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in 37 minutes.
