LeBron James didn’t practice Saturday because of a muscle strain in his back and was listed as doubtful for the Lakers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday at Staples Center. Kyle Kuzma did practice with the Lakers and is listed as probable as he recovers from a sprained left ankle. Anthony Davis is also listed as probable for the game because of a sprained right ankle. James has a thoracic muscle strain, which is defined as a tendon injury in the upper or lower back. Advertisement“It was sustained in the Indiana game and he was able to play through it in the Milwaukee game,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said after practice Saturday.
