Anthony (rest) will play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, The Oklahoman's Anthony Slater reports.

Analysis:

He had missed the last two games due to rest, and while the possibility remains that Anthony could still be shut down at some point this season, he will be back on the court Wednesday. He is starting with a rag-tag crew, with Jose Calderon the only other player anyone would have expected to be starting for the Knicks at this point in the season. Deploy him as usual, as every game Anthony plays this season should be cherished by his owners.
