LeBron James out vs. Denver Nuggets as Los Angeles Lakers look to climb back into play-in berth

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will miss Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets with a sore left ankle, coach Frank Vogel told reporters.

Vogel said James is considered day-to-day going forward.

Anthony Davis will play his second straight game since returning to the lineup Friday after more than six weeks out with a right midfoot sprain, Vogel said.

Entering Sunday, James had missed three of the Lakers' past five games, a stretch in which Los Angeles has gone 0-5 to fall out of a play-in spot in the West entering the final week of the regular season.
