The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a worrying LeBron James injury scare after the iconic forward heard his ankle pop during the win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night.
Late in the third quarter, the Lakers were down four points as the Mavericks - powered by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving - led 75-71 when James drove to the rim. As the 38-year-old drove and bounced inside, he collapsed and hit lay on the court.
It appeared somewhat innocuous, but James went down holding his right ankle. His actions likely sent shockwaves around the Lakers fanbase as the King declared: “I heard it pop.”
