James (ankle) will suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
James sat out the front end of the Lakers' back-to-back set Monday in Brooklyn to rest his lingering ankle injury but will rejoin the action Tuesday. James has collected 40-plus points in two of the last three outings and should continue to be leaned on if the Lakers are going to make a push toward the playoffs.
