LeBron James To Remain Out On Thursday
3 years agoLos Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James (ankle) will be sidelined for the second consecutive game on Thursday when the team takes on the Utah Jazz. He is currently hampered by a left ankle sprain. With James out of the lineup this past Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks, we saw Stanley Johnson and Malik Monk come through with big games for the team. Monk scored 28 points and hit six three-pointers over 32 minutes while Johnson played a team-high 35 minutes and compiled 16 points, five boards, three assists, one steal and a block. Monk is a must-start player on Thursday and Johnson is usable as well in most formats. James' next chance to return will be on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
