Given how badly the ankle turn looked on the replay, having the end result be an ankle sprain is definitely welcome news for purple and gold supporters. However, high-grade ankle sprains can certainly keep him on the sidelines for several weeks. With the Lakers just starting to get healthy once more, yet another AD injury will take some of the wind out of their sails.

LeBron James made sure to pick up the slack with his star running mate out of action. King James put the Lakers on his back with 15 points in the fourth quarter to give LA the victory over the Jazz.
