CLEVELAND (AP) – LeBron James will likely miss his third straight game with a sprained ankle.

The Cleveland Cavaliers said their star rookie was at Friday’s practice, but did not take part in running drills. The Cavs play the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday.

James has been out since injuring his ankle Jan. 17 at Utah.

James is the team’s leading scorer at 20.4 points per game. He also averages 5.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists.

The Cavs are 1-1 without James.
