Varejao leaves with ankle injury

Jan 28, 2008 - 6:49 AM LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Cleveland Cavaliers forward Anderson Varejao left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers with a left ankle injury.

Varejao was injured at the 3:12 mark of the third quarter, following a made layup by LeBron James when he landed awkwardly on Lakers guard Sasha Vujacic's foot on his way down.

The 6-10 Brazilian was helped off the floor by the Cavaliers' training staff, clearly not wanting to put weight on the injured foot initially. However, he was able to put some weight on the foot before entering the locker room to be examined further.

He did not return to the game and will be re-evaluated on Monday.
