NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony said he re-tweaked his right ankle in Monday’s loss to the Orlando Magic, but would be ready to go Wednesday against Phoenix.
“Yeah, I’m suiting [up] on Wednesday,” Anthony said after scoring 33 points in the Knicks 102-93 loss to the Orlando Magic, New York’s third in a row.
Anthony initially sprained the ankle in last Thursday’s loss to Memphis, and then re-injured it while stepping on Hedo Turkoglu’s foot. He said he received ice and stimulation treatment after the game.
“I think I stepped on Turkoglu’s foot towards the end of the game,” Anthony said. “At this point, I just continue to get the treatment that I need.”
That’s not all that’s bothering Melo.
His sprained left wrist is also not 100 percent and makes it difficult for him to shoot.
“Even though I had two hands on the ball, I was really shooting with one,” said Anthony, who went went 9-for-27 from the field, 1-for-8 from beyond the arc. “I couldn’t really control the ball.”
