As if this nightmarish season for the Knicks couldn’t get any worse, we find out that Carmelo Anthony may need surgery for his sore knee. As if the worst start in franchise history wasn’t bad enough. If Melo’s knee is truly that bad, then yes, he should opt for surgery and just sit out for as long as he needs. No sense in rushing back.
According to a source, Anthony has been playing with left knee soreness for much of the season and the fear is that it may require surgery to correct. Following Tuesday’s loss at New Orleans, Anthony admitted that he’s playing with pain and hinted that he may need time off to rest. …
It is believed that if in fact surgery is needed Anthony could postpone the procedure until after the season but his most recent comments reveal a player who is concerned that his knee is not improving. Throughout his career, Anthony has shown a willingness to play hurt, including the finishing the playoffs two years ago despite suffering from a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder.
