May 3 (UPI) -- Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James will miss Monday night's home game against the Denver Nuggets to rest his right ankle.
League sources told ESPN and The Athletic that James aggravated his ankle injury during the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 121-114 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday at Staples Center. He was held out of the lineup for the final seven minutes of that contest after experiencing soreness in the ankle.
