Carmelo Anthony: (Ankle) Out Thursday

Anthony will miss Thursday's game against the Bulls with a sore left ankle.

Analysis:

Anthony was considered a candidate for a rest after dealing with knee and ankle soreness, and that will indeed be the case Thursday. The Knicks were expected to be shorthanded with the news earlier that Amar'e Stoudemire would sit, but now the news has flipped and Stoudemire will dress, meaning he could see a good amount of work with Anthony out.
