SALT LAKE CITY -- LeBron James will not play against the Utah Jazz on Saturday because of a left ankle injury, the Los Angeles Lakers announced.
James, 39, turned the ankle in the first half of L.A.'s 127-109 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. He stayed in the game after the injury, but logged just 24 minutes in all and scored a season-low 10 points on 3-for-11 shooting.
It will be James' fourth missed game this season.
Rui Hachimura, cleared to return after missing the last five games with a left calf strain, is available to play in James' place.
