Knicks' Carmelo Anthony (illness) practices Tuesday

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) returned to practice on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Anthony sat out Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets with an illness, but his return to practice on Tuesday suggests that he'll be good to go for Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. There will be another update following Wednesday morning's shootaround

Anthony has started the season well and ranks 34th with a 4.9 nERD. He is averaging 22.1 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists while hitting 41 percent of his shots. His 52.3 true shooting percentage ranks 84th. We project Anthony to put up 21.9 points, 6.5 boards and 3.7 assists Wednesday against the 76ers, assuming he suits up.
