Knicks: Carmelo Anthony Has No Health Restrictions

By most means and measures, the New York Knicks’ short-term postseason aspirations rest on the shoulders of Carmelo Anthony. Not only is he the franchise player, but he’s surrounded by a cast of career role players and other unproven commodities.

Thus, the following news is of extraordinary importance: Anthony is ready to go with no restrictions.

Anthony missed 42 games in 2014-15. After competing in the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, the 2013 scoring champion underwent left knee surgery and was shut down for the remainder of the season.

According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, Anthony will have no medical restrictions entering the Knicks’ training camp—a sign that he’s close to 100 percent.
