Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James answered questions during the team’s media day on Sept. 25 in Ohio. James turned his left ankle during his first workout with newly signed teammate Dwyane Wade.

CLEVELAND >> LeBron James turned his left ankle during practice Sept. 27, his first workout with newly signed teammate Dwyane Wade.

A Cavaliers spokesman said James had X-rays, which were negative. The three-time NBA champion didn’t practice today so he could undergo treatment. He’s expected to be day to day.

The severity of James’ injury is not known.

James has been reunited with Wade, his former teammate in Miami. They won two NBA championships together with the Heat and are excited about chasing a third with the Cavs. Wade turned down offers from other teams and signed a one-year, $2.3 million contract — the veteran’s minimum — for a chance to play with his close friend.

Wade also didn’t practice today so he could attend to a personal matter. The 12-time All-Star will be introduced by the Cavs on Sept. 29 following practice.
