Lakers star LeBron James will miss the Lakers' Sunday afternoon game against Denver because of ankle soreness. Anthony Davis will be in the lineup.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis say the Lakers are still focused on earning a play-in game bid to the postseason despite string of losses.“Had ankle soreness from the other night,” Vogel said of James. “This is essentially like a back-to-back with the early start, and we won’t be with him today.”The loss leaves the Lakers in 11th place in the Western Conference standings, one game behind 10th-place San Antonio, which would be the final team into the NBA’s play-in tournament.
The Spurs, who play host to the lowly Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, hold the tiebreaker over the Lakers by virtue of winning the regular-season series.
