The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be without the services of four-time MVP LeBron James for several weeks.
“Initially, Lakers star LeBron James is expected to miss several weeks due to his right ankle sprain, sources say,” Shams Charania reported.
Additionally, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that the Lakers are preparing to be without the champion for potentially a month.
“They told me the Lakers are preparing for the possibility of being without LeBron James for three weeks, even a month.”

James, 36, suffered an ankle injury after colliding with Atlanta Hawks forward Solomon Hill on Saturday.
The schedule marks a sinister update for the Lakers. The franchise is now without James and superstar Anthony Davis. The team is 28-15 this season.
Although the Lakers are the third seeded in the Western Conference, they could sink in the rankings without their all-star partner. The Lakers are only several losses away from falling to eighth place.
The Lakers will have to find a way to get by without James. The veteran is averaging 25.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game this season.
The Lakers face the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday.
