The Lakers have been without star Anthony Davis for the majority of the season, but have still played well behind the 36 year-old James.
This season, James is averaging 26PPG, 8APG, and 8RPG, on 51% shooting from the field and 37% shooting from three.
The Lakers are currently in second place in the Western Conference with a record of 28-13.
If James has to miss time due to the ankle injury, it’s fair to wonder if the Lakers will be able to retain their high rank in the standings.
