LOS ANGELES – LeBron James will miss at least one more game to make sure his sprained right ankle is as healthy as possible.
The four-time MVP will not play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday after practicing on Monday. Coach Frank Vogel said it is possible that James could return on Wednesday when the Lakers have their final regular-season home game against Houston. “It is sort of a soft plan for him to play tomorrow,” Vogel said. “He's going to do some more rehab work today and we'll evaluate the response to that work tomorrow.” Vogel said James came out of Monday's practice fine and would not term Tuesday's absence as precautionary.
