Shumpert returns to Knicks lineup against Bulls

CHICAGO - New York Knicks swingman Iman Shumpert is back in the lineup after he was sidelined by a left knee injury.

Coach Mike Woodson says Shumpert will start on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls. He has struggled this season, averaging 6.9 points on 38 percent shooting in 52 games.

Shumpert sprained the medial collateral ligament in his knee during New York's 98-91 victory over New Orleans on Feb. 19.

All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony also is in the lineup despite a sore right hand.
