LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers’ 130-120 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night late in the game due to left ankle pain.
“It’s just my ankle. It’s just what I’ve been dealing with before the [All-Star] break, after the break. I’m just managing it the best way I can,” said James after the game.
Sources close to the team said that the pain was caused by “wear and tear.”
“Some games are better than others. I didn’t feel it at all against OKC [on Monday]. And I didn’t feel it at all until the fourth quarter tonight. So, each game, each day is different,” added James.
James did not clarify if he’d be available on Friday against the Bucks.
