Anthony announced his retirement via his personal Twitter feed Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony didn't suit up during the 2022-23 campaign, and he's officially decided to call it a career after playing 19 seasons in the NBA. The No. 3 overall pick from the 2003 NBA Draft was a 10-time All-Star and six-time All-NBA selection while averaging 22.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 34.5 minutes per game during his career in which he suited up for the Nuggets, Knicks, Thunder, Rockets, Trail Blazers and Lakers.

Anthony (illness) will not play in Sunday's finale against the Nuggets, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the veteran will sit out the final game of the year with the Lakers out of playoff contention. He'll finish his first campaign with the Lakers averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 26.0 minutes -- similar to the numbers he's been putting up since he left the Knicks.

Anthony (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony will miss a second straight game due to a non-COVID illness. The Lakers will also be without LeBron James (ankle), Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (shoulder), so Malik Monk and Talen Horton-Tucker are expected to garner increased offensive responsibilities once again.

Anthony won't play in Thursday's game against Golden State due to an illness, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran has apparently come down with a non-COVID-related illness and won't be available for the Lakers on Thursday. Stanley Johnson and Wenyen Gabriel are two candidates who could possibly see increased run versus the Warriors with Anthony on the sidelines.

Anthony supplied 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 129-118 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony's shot volume was up amid LeBron James' (knee) absence. The grizzled veteran has excelled during the Lakers' continuous string of injuries, and the insertion of Anthony Davis allowed him to shift his focus from frontcourt duties, converting to more of a scoring threat at the wing.

Anthony (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Anthony will return to the rotation following a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. Over his last six appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 9.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game.

Anthony (illness) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Nuggets, Harrison Faigen of SBNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran should return following a one-game absence due to a non-COVID illness. More notably, LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (foot) are both questionable, and that could affect Anthony's workload.

Anthony has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a non-COVID illness, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony wasn't on the Lakers' injury report ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll be a late scratch due to his illness. Wenyen Gabriel (ankle) and Trevor Ariza could see additional work against New Orleans.

Anthony chipped in 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The Lakers got plenty of production from their veterans Wednesday, with Anthony, Dwight Howard and Russell Westbrook combining for 68 points. This was Anthony's first performance of 20-plus points since he scored 20 against Dallas on March 1. The 37-year-old is averaging 13.6 points on 44.6 percent shooting in his first season as a Laker.

Anthony produced 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and four rebounds across 23 minutes during Saturday's 127-119 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Anthony missed the Lakers' previous contest due to a non-COVID illness, but the issue cost him only one game. The veteran forward led the team's bench with 13 points Saturday and knocked down half of his six three-point attempts, though Los Angeles was unable to pull out a win. Anthony has been the Lakers' top reserve this season with per-game averages of 13.7 points, 4.2 boards and 2.3 three-pointers.
