Carmelo Anthony is back in the NBA. According to numerous reports, the Portland Trail Blazers are signing the former star to a non-guaranteed contract.
The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Portland is looking for a spark - any spark - after a slow start to the season. After earning the third seed a year ago, and fighting their way to the Western Conference Finals, the Blazers have started the season just 4-8, and sit in 13th place in the highly competitive West. They have the league’s 16th-best offense, and 19th-best defense, per Cleaning The Glass.
