Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James left Sunday night's game against the Toronto Raptors and did not return because of right ankle soreness.
James, who just returned from a 20-game absence earlier last week due to a high right ankle sprain, checked out midway through the fourth quarter and did not return for the remainder of the game, which the Lakers went on to lose 121-114.
The Lakers will face the Denver Nuggets on Monday night in the second game of a back-to-back, leaving James' status in the air for that matchup.
