Lakers Edge Out Spurs to Score Another Win in LeBron James’ Absence
by privatebet.com - 2021/10/27
LeBron James missed the Lakers’ latest NBA game due to ankle soreness, but that didn’t stop his team from coming out victorious. Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook led the Los Angeles Lakers to a narrow win against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night. The Lakers scored an overtime victory against the Spurs, but it was a close call until the very last minute. They eventually won 125-121, largely thanks to Davis, who scored 35 points and 17 rebounds, and Westbrook, who finished the game with 33 points and 10 rebounds. One player who was noticeably missing from the latest clash between the Lakers and the Spurs? The NBA legend LeBron James. He was out due to right ankle soreness, after colliding with Desmond Bane midway through Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. According to the Lakers coach Frank Vogel, James’ potential return in the team’s next game against the Oklahoma City Thunder is hanging in the air. "Questionable. Going to see how he feels. He's just day to day, and he'll get evaluated again tomorrow and see what the soreness is like and make a decision then," said Vogel after the match. James’ latest injury comes shortly after he missed a career-high 27 regular-season games last year because of a right high ankle sprain.
