New York Knicks center Tyson Chandler has said that he is on his way to making a comeback from injury.

The 31-year-old has been out since the first week of November with a leg fracture that he suffered against the Charlotte Bobcats.

"I'm hoping before [January 1]," Theknicksblog.com quotes him as saying.

"If I can just get my practice time and timing and feel like I'm able to protect myself out there, then I want to get back out there."

The Knicks have a 5-14 record in the Eastern Conference.
