Lakers Rumors: LeBron James To Receive MRI On Injured Right Ankle

The Los Angeles Lakers saw their four-game win streak snapped against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday afternoon, but the big story coming out of the contest was the health of superstar LeBron James.

In the second quarter, James suffered a right ankle injury while fighting for a loose ball.

The Hawks’ Solomon Hill dove for a ball that was on the ground and in the process rolled over James’ foot, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. As opposed to the more common sprain seen in basketball, James’ foot actually bent inwards which was even more of a cause for concern.
