(Los Angeles, CA) -- LeBron James is heading back to Los Angeles as he looks to rehab a left ankle injury. The star forward won't be with the Lakers as they close their road trip against the Jazz tonight. James suffered a left ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans and missed the team's game against the Mavericks on Tuesday. The 37-year-old leads the NBA in scoring at 30.1 points per game, but has been limited to 55 games.
