Knicks' Carmelo Anthony Unlikely To Play Friday Night Against Celtics
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Boston Celtics host the Knicks on Friday night, and it doesn't look like they'll have to deal with New York's top scorer.
Knicks head coach Derek Fisher said that forward Carmelo Anthony is "questionable to doubtful" for the game at New York's morning shoot around on Friday. Anthony did not play in the Knick's loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night with a left knee injury.
