Anthony (knee) is considered day-to-day in advance of Thursday's matchup with the Raptors, the New York Post reports.

Analysis:

Earlier in the week, Anthony hinted that he was looking forward to playing against the Thunder on Tuesday, but he ultimately sat out the game due to soreness in his left knee. It's the same knee on which he underwent surgery last February, but Anthony said he doesn't believe there's a connection. Head coach Derek Fisher didn't sound quite so sure, emphasizing the need to continue evaluating the knee. "At this point it's not, [but] you don't know unless you continue to evaluate the situation," Fisher said. "At this point, it's just a sore left knee. We're hopeful it will calm down soon. If something tells us otherwise, we'll be smart and as we've always tried to be and make a decision that's best."
