The Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James (ankle) will miss the second consecutive game tonight against the Phoenix Suns. With a loss and a Spurs win tonight, the Lakers would be eliminated from playoff contention. It would be the 4th time LeBron James has missed the playoffs in his 19-year career and the 2nd time with the Lakers. The other two times were his first two seasons, in 2003 and 2004.
