LeBron James left the court and will not return after sustaining a right ankle injury during the second quarter of the Lakers' game Saturday against the Hawks.
James was on the left wing when Hawks forward Solomon Hill went for a loose ball and inadvertently made contact with James's right leg. James immediately went to the ground grabbing his right leg in pain after the awkward contortion.
It was a strange scene, though. After the injury, James went back to the Lakers bench, tied his shoes and returned to the court where he immediately hit a corner three-pointer.
