LeBron James has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against at the Golden State Warriors as he continues managing a left ankle injury, the team announced Wednesday.

James said at Sunday's All-Star Game he would use the break to get additional treatment on peroneal tendinopathy. He didn't specify the nature of the treatment but hinted he could miss the Warriors game.

His status for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs and Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns are to be determined. James has missed one game of back-to-back sets three previous times this season to manage the ankle.
