On Monday, Yahoo! Sports' Chris Haynes reported that James would return either Tuesday vs. the Knicks or on Wednesday.
According to Yahoo! Sports, James had two “really good days of workouts at a high level” and feels “great.”
James has not played since May 3, when he exited Los Angeles' 121–114 loss to the Raptors midway through the fourth quarter with soreness in his right ankle.
The loss to Toronto marked James's second game back after a 20-game absence due to a sprained right ankle.
James is averaging 25 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game this season. He is on track to play in the fewest games in a regular season of his NBA career.
