Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James subbed out of the team’s game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night due to an injury scare, but later returned.

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off back-to-back wins over the San Antonio Spurs this past Thanksgiving weekend. On Monday, they hosted the Indiana Pacers looking to win three games in a row.

In the first quarter, star LeBron James grabbed his left ankle after he stepped on Tyrese Haliburton’s foot. James had his ankle worked on by trainer Mike Mancias in the bench and eventually subbed out of the game to go to the locker room, per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.

LeBron James took a tumble and came up favoring his left ankle. The Lakers called timeout and his longtime athletic trainer, Mike Mancias worked on his ankle on the bench. James ended up subbing out of the game following the timeout and went to the back for further evaluation.
