Lakers' LeBron James: Ruled out Sunday

James (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

James will sit out the front end of Los Angeles' back-to-back set due to left foot injury management, and he'll look to return in Monday's tilt against Phoenix. With the superstar sidelined, Jake LaRavia and Maxi Kleber are candidates for increased minutes, while Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht could enter the rotation.
