BOSTON (AP) — Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis were both ruled out of Los Angeles' national television matchup with the East-leading Celtics on Thursday night due to “active” injuries coach Darvin Ham said the team has been managing throughout the season.
The team said James is dealing with a left ankle injury. Davis sat with an Achilles tendon issue and left hip spasms.
“Got inflamed a little bit. But we let them go through shoot around and see how it was," Ham said before the game. "It was determined ultimately that they would be out for the game.”
He did not offer a timeline on how long either player would be sidelined.
