Lakers’ superstar LeBron James suffers right ankle soreness after a collision with Desmond Bane under the basket last night

The Los Angeles Lakers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After winning 8 games on a trot, they finally have managed to win a game. Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Memphis Grizzlies 121-118 to secure their first win of the season. To secure the win, the LA stars had to shine bright. Carmelo Anthony took over, scoring 28 points from the bench. Anthony Davis recorded 22 points and 8 rebounds.

LeBron James did a little bit of everything. He put up 19 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. However, he gave the Lakers fan a big scare. During the 2nd quarter, LeBron collided with Desmond Bane under the hoop. He seemed to have hurt his right ankle, the same one which bothered him last season.
