Thunder's Carmelo Anthony a late scratch on Sunday night due to a sore back
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony will not play on Sunday night due to a sore back.
What It Means:
No word on when Anthony suffered the injury, but with the 2-11 Dallas Mavericks coming to town, the Thunder will play it safe with one of their big three. No word on who is starting in his place but expect Jerami Grant and Patrick Patterson to see extra minutes.
Anthony has averaged 33.4 FanDuel points per game in his first season with the Thunder.
