Carmelo Anthony injures knee

It sounds a lot worse than it apparently is.

Carmelo Anthony hyperextended his right knee when he stepped on the foot of rookie Iman Shumpert, according to tweets from Frank Isola of the New York Daily News and Marc Berman of the New York Post.

The Knicks say he is day-to-day, which doesn’t sound too serious. But this is a knee, so they probably will be cautious here letting him get back on the court. There are a couple weeks until the start of the season so he should be fine by then. (So long as this really isn’t serious.)

After the practice, ‘Melo said he was fine.

Unlike past seasons, with fewer games and a condensed schedule, a key player like ‘Melo that is out for any team for any extended period will have a bigger impact — more games missed in a season where the games matter more for playoff seedings. The Knicks are hoping this doesn’t linger into the season.

totally blown over. Hyperextended his knee, left practice. Told reporters like an hour later he was fine and seemed to be walking perfectly normal.

He'll be back on court Wednesday, if not tomorrow.

Good news for the Knicks it isn't anything serious. Knee injuries could be a bitch.

He should be fine, but an injury would be a crucial blow to this team. Its a thin team that needs more quality players for depth and towards building a solid bench.
