Lakers' LeBron James tweaks ankle in win: "I'll be in the lineup on Wednesday"

"I'll be in the lineup on Wednesday," James predicted, referring to the Lakers' play-in opener against eighth-seeded Golden State

Per ESPN, But when James used a spin move on the dribble to convert a lay-up against two defenders in the fourth quarter, he landed on Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s foot, fell to the floor and remained on his back for several seconds before checking out of the game for good.

“I’ll be fine,” James insisted after his game-high 25 points led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 110-98 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.

James called his latest injury “a tweak” of the high right ankle sprain that sidelined him for 26 of the Lakers’ final 30 regular-season games.

“I’ll be in the lineup on Wednesday,” James predicted, referring to the Lakers’ play-in opener against eighth-seeded Golden State. “The time is now and I’m ready for it.”
