Carmelo Anthony: Won't play Thursday

Anthony (knee) said he won't play Thursday against the Raptors, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Anthony was initially deemed questionable after making the trip with the club to Toronto, but he'll miss a second consecutive game Thursday after sitting out Tuesday's overtime loss to the Thunder. The nine-time All-Star told reporters that his tentative plan is to try and play Friday against the Suns in the second half of a back-to-back set, but nothing is set in stone at this point. In Anthony's absence, Lance Thomas will likely make another start after scoring 16 points to go with four rebounds before fouling out of Tuesday's game.
