Jackson not expected to attend Knicks-Lakers game

While Phil Jackson will see the Knicks when they arrive in Los Angeles for a five-game road trip, the Zen Master is not expected to attend the contest against the Lakers at Staples Center on Tuesday, according to multiple sources.

With Lakers fans still upset he’s left them for New York, Jackson doesn’t want to create a scene or have the night become a circus, especially with his fiancée, Jeanie Buss, the Lakers president, on hand.

Jackson has been in Los Angeles since after his presidential debut at last Wednesday’s game at the Garden.
