He played seven seasons in Denver before being traded to the New York Knicks during the 2010-2011 season. Anthony spent six-plus seasons with the Knicks ...

Free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony isn't expected to sign with the Celtics. After Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a torn ACL, there were rumblings that the C's were interested in adding Anthony.

The 38-year-old played 69 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while sinking 37.5% of his attempts from deep.

The 38-year-old could wind up returning to the Los Angeles Lakers next year, but according to Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, one NBA general manager thinks that the Golden State Warriors are a better fit for the veteran.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward was forced to sit out during their last contest due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence allowed more playing time for Malik Monk and Stanley Johnson. They'd once again be asked to step up, assuming Anthony sits out. Otherwise, they'd all split up the playing time with Anthony returning, but he has been too inconsistent to trust in fantasy leagues...

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) was able to log a full practice session Thursday, which has bumped his status up to probable for Friday's contest vs. the Clippers. Anthony sustained his hamstring ailment in the team's most recent L.A. vs. L.A. matchup on Feb. 3, with the Lakers' second unit scuffling in his absence.
