Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will be sitting out the upcoming game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday to allow his sore left ankle to rest. The decision was announced by the Lakers approximately four hours before the scheduled tip-off against the Pacers.
Despite dealing with ongoing ankle pain, the 40-year-old James has been in exceptional form in recent weeks, contributing significantly to the Lakers' success. The team has won four consecutive games and 10 out of their last 12 matchups, even after the trade that sent center Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Luka Doncic.
