Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has been downgraded from doubtful to out for Tuesday’s game against the host Milwaukee Bucks due to a left ankle injury.
It will mark the 10th game that James has missed this season, including both contests against Milwaukee. The Lakers recorded a 123-122 victory over the Bucks in Los Angeles on March 8.
James, 39, is averaging 25.4 points, 8.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds in 62 games this season, his 20th in the NBA.
Los Angeles (39-32) has won three in a row and five of its past seven games heading into the opener of a six-game road trip on Tuesday.
