James likely to sit out exhibition game versus Canada
Comments 0 | Recommend 0LAS VEGAS - U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski says injured forward LeBron James is a "95 percent no-go" for Friday's exhibition against Canada.
James, who has a mild right ankle sprain, was held out of a scrimmage for the second straight day on Thursday, although he did participate in five-on-none 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 a Tuesday scrimmage between Team USA and a select squad of young NBA players. On Thursday, James said the ankle had improved every day since.
"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."
