The Los Angeles Lakers say LeBron James is questionable to play Tuesday night against the Knicks in what would be his first game at Madison Square Garden in three years.
James sat out the Lakers’ Monday night loss in Brooklyn with left foot soreness. Coach Darvin Ham said he would be evaluated again Tuesday morning before it was determined if he could play.
James is 117 points from passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the NBA’s career scoring record. He has missed the Lakers’ last two trips to Madison Square Garden.
New York fans are anxious to see the NBA great take the court it the “Mecca” of basketball. He hasn’t played in the Garden since January 2020, before the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States.
James’ front court teammate Anthony Davis is listed as probable after also sitting out Monday. He returned last week from a 20-game absence with a right foot injury.
In desperate need of wins to make a push to qualify for the playoffs, the Lakers (23-28) lost to the Nets on Monday, 121-104.
