LeBron James eyeing return to take on the Rockets
By Braulio Perez
While LeBron James has been ruled out to face the New York Knicks on Tuesday, it doesn't look like Lakers fans are going to have to wait much longer for him to return to the hardwood to put on a show like normal.
Per Adrian Wojnarowski, King James is planning to rest his ankle on Tuesday, but then suit up to take on the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
LeBron James is going to give that right ankle one more day of rest today vs. Knicks -- and target a return on Wednesday vs. Rockets, sources tell @mcten and me.

James has missed a good chunk of the season with his ankle injuries, which has been a bummer for folks to see. The hope, though, is that he'll be able to be a full-go for the playoffs and help LA repeat as NBA Finals champions.
