Carmelo Anthony will not play vs. Raptors

The New York Knicks will try to do something they haven't accomplished all season - win a game without Carmelo Anthony.

The 6-foot-8 small forward will not play in Thursday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors, according to the New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy.

Anthony will miss his second straight game due to a knee injury.

New York has been particularly bad on the offensive end without Anthony, scoring seven fewer points per 100 possessions when the nine-time All-Star sits.

The Syracuse product is averaging 21.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and shooting 43.3. percent in 2015-16.

The Knicks (22-25) are currently in the midst of a three-game losing skid.
