Knicks' Anthony Fails To Make East Reserves For NBA All-Star Game
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The NBA revealed the reserves for the 2017 All-Star Game on Thursday night, and Carmelo Anthony was nowhere to be found.
The reserves for the Eastern Conference include Isaiah Thomas, John Wall, Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry, Paul George, Kemba Walker and Paul Millsap, CBS Sports reported.
Those making the cut for the Western Conference include Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, DeMarcus Cousins, Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan and Gordon Hayward.
Anthony had made the previous seven All-Star games. His absence from the roster comes amid trade rumors, as the Knicks have reportedly reached out to the Cavaliers, Celtics and Clippers to gauge their interest.
The starters were named two weeks ago, with Kyrie Irving, DeMar DeRozan, Jimmy Butler, LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo getting the nod for the East, while Stephen Curry, James Harden, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Anthony Davis will start for the West.
The All-Star Game will be played on Feb. 21 in New Orleans.
