The Los Angeles Lakers are just one-loss better than the New Orleans Pelicans, sitting in the 9th berth of the Western Conference. However, one of these two teams was surely going to suffer the wrath of their devastating fans as the Lakers travelled to lock horns against the Barndon Ingram and CJ McCollum led Pelicans. With LeBron James also on the court, the purple and gold army knew who was going to lead them, until they were given a major scare. 

During the second quarter, while the Los Angeles Lakers were able to dominate the Pelicans, LeBron James suffered via an ankle tweak as the Pelicans defender seemed to have landed on the same. NBA fans and the Laker Nation will be aware, about the already existing ankle issues LeBron James is dealing with, since last season. Evidently, after the dangerous play, the King could not stand up until the Pelicans scored the basket on the turn.

Fortunately, Lakers fans were able to quickly breathe a sigh of relief after LeBron James stayed in the game following the time out. While he did seem bothered initially, he was able to shake it off. It was definitely a lucky break for the Los Angeles Lakers since occurrences like that could have led to a more serious ankle injury for LeBron James.

That being said, the good thing it is not too severe and the superstar forward was able to play through it. Given that Anthony Davis is just about to return, with the postseason approach. If the Lakers want to make it past the regular season, they need LeBron James in all of their remaining encounters.
