Carmelo Anthony returned to the Knicks' lineup on Wednesday and led New York to a 106-94 win at home against the Orlando Magic. Anthony connected on a 3-pointer just 22 seconds into the game to answer the skepticism of whether he was ready to return to action.
Anthony continued with an impressive scoring performance with 21 points, shooting 7-of-14 from the field, and grabbed eight rebounds. "I feel good, I feel healthy," Anthony told ESPN after the game. "I'm glad I went and got that procedure done so I put that behind me now."
The NBA's second-leading scorer hadn't played since leaving the Knicks' road trip last week to have fluid drained from the back of his right knee. The forward said it felt better right after going to the hospital after weeks of discomfort.
"I feel good, I feel healthy," Anthony said. "I'm glad I went and got that procedure done so I put that behind me now."
