LeBron James suffers sprain in basketball team practice
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - LeBron James suffered what Team USA officials described as "a mild sprain" to his right ankle during the American Olympic basketball team's practice on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
The injury took place when James landed on Kevin Durant's foot during a practice game between the American team and a squad comprised of young NBA players, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Trainers at the Las Vegas high school gymnasium wrapped James's ankle in a black brace and James left the practice facility without offering any comment for reporters.
"He thinks it's a mild sprain," Coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters. "Our trainers think it's a mild sprain. So we'll find out tomorrow. But I don't think it's anything serious. Obviously, we'll look and see what happens tomorrow."
Team USA plays an exhibition game against Canada on Friday.
