The Portland Trail Blazers have ruled out Carmelo Anthony (ankle) for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets.
This will be the second game Anthony has missed with this sprained ankle. Nassir Little and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson split time in the rotation in yesterday's game without Anthony in the lineup.
Anthony has still managed to be a productive player even outside of a starting role in his second year in Portland. His 19.8 points and 2.2 assists per 36 minutes are his best marks since his 2016-17 season with the New York Knicks, and his .406 3-point percentage is the second-best of his entire career.
