LeBron James reaggravated his ankle injury and has been out of the Lakers lineup ever since.

LeBron James is one of the most valuable players in relation to his team in the history of the NBA. Whenever LeBron leaves a franchise or is injured for a prolonged amount of time, that team immediately starts to perform like a bottom-feeder franchise. It happened with the Cleveland Cavaliers and it’s happened with the Los Angeles Lakers, whenever LeBron isn’t able to play through injury. As of right now, the Lakers are experiencing a familiar fate as LeBron is out with an ankle injury.

James actually came back to the court on Friday although just a couple of days later, he reaggravated his ankle and now he is out for at least another week. With the playoffs right around the corner, there is no denying that the team needs him more than ever before.
