CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Los Angeles Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis have been ruled out Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets.
James will miss his second straight game because of left knee soreness, and Davis is out with right wrist soreness. Malik Monk (left groin soreness) and Kendrick Nunn (right knee bone bruise) also are out for the struggling Lakers.
Russell Westbrook and Avery Bradley, who were both listed as questionable on the injury report, will start.
James sat out Thursday night in a loss at Philadelphia.
