Lakers rule out LeBron James (ankle) Monday versus Nuggets
The Los Angeles Lakers have ruled out LeBron James (ankle) for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
James aggravated his ongoing ankle injury during last night's surprise loss to the Toronto Raptors, and will sit out tonight's game in the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back to recover.
With James and Dennis Schroder (health protocols) sidelined, Alex Caruso and Kyle Kuzma should expect to see a bump in their workloads tonight. Their salaries on FanDuel tonight are $3,700 and $5,500 respectively.
