Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James will be out indefinitely after suffering a high ankle sprain in Saturday’s game, according to the team’s website.
The injury occurred in the second quarter of the Lakers’ 99-94 loss to the Atlanta Hawks at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
James stayed in the game for a few more seconds, making a 3-point basket before hobbling off the court to the Lakers’ locker room.
After the game, James tweeted about the injury, saying, “The road back from recovery begins now. “
“Nothing angers and saddens me more than not being available to and for my teammates!” James said. “Back soon like I never left.”
After the loss to the Hawks, the Lakers are in 3rd place in the NBA’s Western Conference standings. (CNN)
