PHOENIX (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers again will be without star LeBron James as they try to stave off playoff elimination.
James has been ruled out for Tuesday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns because of a sprained left ankle.
He also sat out on Sunday night after scoring 38 points on Friday.
