The 38-year-old was missing his second straight game with left ankle soreness and hasn't played since he overtook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the NBA all-time scoring list on Tuesday.
The 20-year veteran underwent an examination on his left foot but no damage was discovered. Lakers coach Darvin Ham said the team will be cautious with James as they chase a playoff spot after a poor start to the season.
