Lakers' LeBron James (ankle) out for Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

James will sit out today's contest as he continues he deal with his ongoing ankle injury. The Lakers are sitting just one game behind the San Antonio Spurs for the final play-in spot in this season's playoffs, so James' ankle injury would appear to be significant if it holds him out today.

James' absence today could open up a starting spot for Talen Horton-Tucker. Horton-Tucker is currently projected to score 0.89 fantasy points per minute in numberFire's model.
