The Lakers are 2-0 behind the Denver Nuggets after the first two games in the Western Conference finals.

The Lakers held the advantage for three-quarters of the match. However

Jamal Murray’s crazy fourth quarter turned the game around and the Nuggets came back to win 108-103 in game 2.

In the fourth quarter of game 2, Lakers star LeBron James injured his left ankle after stepping on Anthony Davis’ foot and falling down. 

The 38-year-old star could continue playing, but James continued to limp in the final minutes of the match.

Reasons why LeBron James was injured

James rolled his left ankle late in the fourth quarter when he stepped on Davis’ foot as the two fought for a rebound.

James continued to lie on the floor as the Lakers regained the ball and launched a quick counterattack. 

But in the end, the Lakers superstar was still able to endure the pain and continue playing.

James finished the contest with 22 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks in 40 minutes. However, he continued to be ungainly at the three-point line as he missed all 6 opportunities to shoot the ball.

LeBron James’ ankle injury

James did not give up due to injury, he played hard until the last minute of the match. The gap between the two teams is very tight and James wants to do everything to help the Lakers win.

James had an impressive steal when the Lakers pressured the entire court and made the basket after an ankle injury. This is a positive sign that his injury is not too serious.

After the match, James declared his readiness to play in the upcoming game 3: “I will be ready to play. … Nothing can stop me from playing
