LeBron James has been dealing with a sore left ankle that caused him to miss the Lakers’ win over the Bucks on Friday. He’s been listed as questionable for the matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although James downplayed the injury, saying “I’ll be all right” and that he’s just managing the soreness, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham described the issue as “severe soreness” and considered James day-to-day.
Despite the injury, James has been remarkably durable this season, missing only nine games so far. However, he did suffer a right foot tendon injury last season, which caused him to miss several games. This recent ankle soreness is a concern, but James’ ability to manage injuries and maintain his performance level is a testament to his dedication and athleticism.
It’s unclear how long James will be sidelined with the ankle soreness, but the Lakers will likely take a cautious approach to ensure their star player is fully healthy before returning to the court.
