Lakers star LeBron James will sit out tonight's game against the Nuggets due to a sore right ankle, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.
James, who missed 20 straight games due to a sprained right ankle, re-aggravated the injury on Sunday night in the fourth quarter against the Raptors. James returned for just two games since he suffered the injury.
The four-time MVP exited the fourth quarter with seven minutes left in regulation due to soreness and with his team down by 16 points. The Lakers would eventually lose 121–114.
