LeBron James expected to miss back-to-back games against Clippers, Blazers

Despite securing a win against Denver Nuggets in their recent game, the Lakers happen to have a serious concern on the health status of their star forward LeBron James.

James who suffered an injury earlier this year that caused him to miss about 20 games was hit again on that ankle after just returning this week.

The duration the injury has not been certified but the forward is expected to sit out at their next games where they face Clippers and Blazers (Thursday and Friday respectively).

With seven games left, the Lakers are a bit of a concern in their quest for playoffs as any game lost now will prove highly detrimental

They currently hold 1/2 point lead over Dallas in 5th spot and one game over Blazers who sits at 7th in the West.
