NEW YORK — Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis will miss Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, the first on back-to-back nights in New York, the team announced Sunday.
James will rest his aching left ankle while Davis will take the night off because of a right foot stress injury.
The Lakers opened a five-game trip with a 125 -121 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night following a controversial no-call on James' last-second drive for a layup. The score was tied at 105-105 when James got the ball with 4.1 seconds left and drove to the basket, missing a layup. James had made five of six free throws to that point in the game.
