Knicks' Carmelo Anthony: Will return Monday

Anthony (knee) will return to action Monday against the Pistons, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Anthony missed a pair of games with a sore left knee, but he'll return to action Monday as the Knicks host Detroit. Likely due in part to the knee issue and general wear and tear, Anthony's numbers have waned since the All-Star break, and he's averaging 17.7 points on only 38.5 percent shooting (30.2% 3PT) in the month of March. With only a handful of games remaining in what will be another lottery season, the Knicks will likely give Anthony a few more games off down the stretch.
