LeBron James was ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday with an ankle injury.
The news was first reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Four-time NBA MVP LeBron had been listed as doubtful after rolling his left ankle in the 116-108 defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.
The 37-year-old did not practice on Monday and the decision was subsequently taken for him to sit out the matchup at the American Airlines Center.
Anthony Davis had also been listed as doubtful after he on Monday came through his first full practice session since suffering a foot injury on February 16.
The Lakers (31-43) went into the Mavs (46-29) game 10th in the Western Conference and hold a half-game lead over the San Antonio Spurs for the final play-in spot.
