James Harden is back from his sore hamstring and will be available to face the rival Knicks tonight at Barclays Center.

We’ll wait and see. But it does look positive that this week some time there’s a high probability that he can return.”

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
