Anthony (knee) was limited in practice Monday, Steve Popper of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Anthony has missed six straight games while rehabbing a nagging knee injury, and he remains day-to-day in advance of Thursday's game against the Bucks in London. The forward said over the weekend that he hopes to play Thursday afternoon, but a final call likely won't come until he's evaluated later in the week. Regardless of whether he's on the court Thursday, Anthony acknowledged that he's "pretty sure at some point" surgery will be required to fully repair his knee. When that may happen, however, remains unknown. Anthony could opt to wait until the offseason, but given the Knicks well-publicized struggles this season, he could be shut down at some point.
