MIAMI (AP) - LeBron James is listed in Miami’s starting lineup against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night. Heat teammate Chris Bosh has been ruled out of the contest.

Both have been dealing with sprained ankles.

James did not participate in Miami’s morning shootaround practice Tuesday, but the two-time reigning NBA MVP received treatment throughout the day and deemed himself ready.

The Heat released their lineup about 30 minutes before tip-off, with Joel Anthony starting at the power forward in Bosh’s place.

James had missed Miami’s past two games, losses in Denver and Chicago.

Bosh sprained his left ankle against Chicago on Saturday. Tuesday marks the first time he will miss a game this season.
