James isn't likely to play on Friday for Team USA
Injured forward LeBron James is a “95% no-go” for Friday’s exhibition game in Las Vegas against Canada, U.S. men's basketball team coach Mike Krzyzewski said earlier today.
James, who sustained a mild right ankle sprain during a Tuesday practice, was held out of a scrimmage for the second straight day, although the Associated Press reports that he did participate in some drills.
"He hasn’t had contact,” Krzyzewski said. “We’re better off giving him a few days.”
James injured his ankle when he landed on Kevin Durant’s foot during Tuesday's scrimmage between Team USA and a team made up of young NBA players.
“When it happened, I could barely walk on it, and it progressed throughout the night,” James said. “It’s feeling a lot better. If I had to [play], I would.”
