Lakers star LeBron James out against Nuggets with lingering ankle injury

LeBron James’ ankle, it seems, is still bothering him.

James will miss the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday due to his left ankle, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. James had missed two games with the left ankle sprain last week, but returned on Friday.

James first rolled his ankle last Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans after stepping on Jaxson Hayes’ foot. James finished that game, but said after that his ankle felt “horrible.”

He missed their next two games, and left the road trip early to return to Los Angeles.
