Lakers Injury Report: Darvin Ham Provides Bleak Update On LeBron James' Ankle
The Los Angeles Lakers fell to a 2-3 record without their superstar LeBron James on the court on Tuesday, when they dropped their latest game against their hallway rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Lakers had a solid chance to escape with the win, but with no James and no involvement from Anthony Davis down the stretch, the Lakers' hopes were dim.
James missed his fifth game of the season due to a left ankle peroneal tendinopathy injury.
He's been listed on the injury report for the last couple of games due to that ailment, and we're hoping it's nothing too serious. Before Tuesday's matchup, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said he will likely be 'day-to-day' moving forward.
The Lakers have struggled to grab wins with James, and things aren't any better without him. James is the ultimate game-changer, and his presence is severely missed whenever he isn't available.
The purple and gold will face the Chicago Bulls for their next matchup on Thursday, and I know the Laker faithful are hopeful he will be available.
Nothing has gone right for the Lakers this season. The last thing the team needs is for any of their core pieces to miss significant time or any time.
