LeBron James has only played in two games since March 21, but he is planning on making his triumphant return on Tuesday night. It just so happens that his Los Angeles Lakers host the New York Knicks in the STAPLES Center on Tuesday.
Lakers star LeBron James is targeting Tuesday vs. New York for return to the lineup from sore right ankle, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. If not Tuesday, Wednesday vs. Houston is possible.

This puts the Knicks in a tough position.
