Carmelo Anthony’s insistence on remaining in New York despite Knicks president Phil Jackson’s belief he should finish his career elsewhere is rooted in is Anthony’s desire to remain close to his 10-year-old son Kiyan.
That’s what his estranged wife, La La Anthony said Tuesday on “The Wendy Williams Show.”
Asked if they were divorcing, La La Anthony, who has known her husband since he was 19 and been married for seven years, said, “Not right now,” and added of Carmelo, “We’re the best of friends.”
She said she will continue to live in New York.
There has been speculation that Anthony, 33, would be a top target of the Cavaliers if the Knicks decide to buy out his contract, which has a no-trade clause.
