Report: LeBron James ‘Feels Great’ And is Planning to Return on Tuesday vs Knicks

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled without LeBron James and fans are looking forward to his return. Are you ready for some good news?

King James may come back right on time for the game against the New York Knicks. How impressive is that? The Lakers played without LeBron for too long. Now is the perfect time to celebrate the good news.

Shams Charania from The Athletic was among the first to confirm the information. LeBron is dealing with a sore ankle, but it looks like he feels just great at the moment. If he doesn’t return Tuesday, he is definitely coming back Wednesday. LA plays against the Houston Rockets.

The four-time NBA champion has had two “really good days of workouts at a high level.” He feels “great.” Do we really need to add more?

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.

LeBron James is ready for his return

LeBron missed 20 games before returning to the floor. He forced his return, but re-aggravated his injury. He played two games and then had to miss the last four games due to the same injury. LA had to play without the superstar and his absence was more than obvious. LA players missed LeBron and they struggled to win games.

Having LeBron back in the starting lineup is a big deal for the Lakers. His presence will probably help the team avoid the play-in tournament. LeBron is not a fan of the tournament. He hates the new rule. If LA makes the tournament, LeBron will probably play against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Curry wasn’t really excited about this opportunity.

LA is one game behind the Portland Trail Blazers for the sixth seed in the West. teams in both conferences that are in the top six seeds won’t play in the new tournament.

Lakers head coach Frank Vogel is an optimist. The same goes to his players. Dennis Schroder and the rest of the guys don’t really care about the seedings. They only care about the final outcome.
