Anthony posted 21 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2), two rebounds, two assists, two 3-pointers, two steals and three turnovers in 19 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony is a capable scorer, but he doesn't often bring many other statistics to the stat sheet. He's an okay, late-round target in deep points leagues, but he's not the most attractive pick in category-based settings.

Anthony (chin) posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 preseason win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony exited Monday's exhibition early due to a chin laceration, but the issue didn't force him to miss additional action. He was a strong contributor across the board during Thursday's matchup, recording a team high in both assists and rebounds.

Anthony received stitches for a chin laceration Monday and he will not return, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

This shouldn't be anything that impacts Anthony's status for the regular-season opener, but there's a chance he'll need to skip Thursday's exhibition versus Detroit. If he does need to hit the sidelines, Gary Harris could pick up some extra run.

Anthony (undisclosed) is available to play in Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony sat out the contact portion of practice Thursday with an undisclosed issue but is expected to make his Bucks debut in Monday's preseason contest. The veteran guard joined Milwaukee after having his contract bought out by Memphis on July 12. Head coach Doc Rivers noted he plans to get all 20 players some run, so Anthony's workload remains to be seen.

Anthony (undisclosed) sat out the contact portion of Thursday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony was not dealing with any injuries at the start of training camp, and when coach Doc Rivers was asked what the guard was battling, he said he had "no idea." Rivers did describe Anthony's absence as a precautionary measure, but for now, he can be considered questionable for Monday's preseason game against Miami.

Anthony has agreed to a contract buyout with the Grizzlies on Saturday and intends to sign with the Bucks after clearing waivers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony was traded earlier this offseason in a deal that sent Desmond Bane to the Magic, but he'll move on before ever taking the court for the Grizzlies. The guard appeared in 67 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign, including 22 starts, and averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 42.4 percent from the field in 18.4 minutes per game. The 2020 first-round pick could help replace Damian Lillard (Achilles) with the Bucks, though that move won't become official until Anthony clears waivers.

The Magic traded Anthony, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, four unprotected first-round picks and one first-round pick swap to the Grizzlies on Sunday in exchange for Desmond Bane, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a breakout sophomore year, Anthony's statistics have decreased across the board in three consecutive campaigns, culminating in career lows in points (9.4), rebounds (3.0), assists (2.0) and minutes (18.4) during the 2024-25 season. He signed a two-year, $26 million extension with the Magic in October of 2023, which included a team option for 2026-27. There's an entire offseason to play out, but Anthony finds himself in a tough competition for backcourt minutes in Memphis with Caldwell-Pope, Scotty Pippen, Vince Williams, and potentially, Luke Kennard.

Anthony chipped in three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Orlando wasn't able to generate much offense from their backcourt trio of Anthony, Anthony Black and Cory Joseph -- all three combined for 11 points as Orlando was knocked out of the postseason. None of those players stepped up much in the absence of Jalen Suggs (knee), as they formed a timeshare at the point guard slot to limit the upside of each other. Anthony finished the regular season with 67 appearances and averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.4 percent shooting from the field.

Anthony closed Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with no counting stats over two minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony failed to make an impact Sunday against the defending NBA champions, as he saw the floor for a team-low two minutes. Throughout the first four games of this first-round series with Boston, Anthony has racked up just eight points, four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes.

Anthony tallied 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and three rebounds in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Anthony's efficient shooting helped him lead Orlando in scoring Tuesday despite coming off the bench. The 24-year-old guard actually played more than starting guard Cory Joseph, who logged just 18 minutes. Anthony will likely continue to be heavily featured off Orlando's bench during their first-round playoff matchup with the Celtics.
