Lakers superstar LeBron James will miss the final two games of the regular season as he continues to rehab a nagging left ankle injury, the team announced Friday.
James, who has missed five of the last six games after suffering the injury against the Pelicans on Mar. 27, is expected to make a full recovery.
The news comes two days after the Lakers (31–49) were officially eliminated from postseason contention following a 121–110 loss to the first-place Suns. L.A. will finish the regular season at home against the Thunder on Friday before traveling to face the Nuggets on Sunday.
