Carmelo Anthony will miss the next one-to-two weeks with a strained right groin, according to the Knicks.
Anthony was injured in the first quarter of last night’s 99-88 victory over the Jazz.
He left the game after logging 5:47 and scoring two points in the first quarter.
The All-Star got hurt right before throwing an alley-oop pass to Tyson Chandler. He faked a 3-pointer, then lobbed the ball to Chandler for a dunk and a 12-5 Knicks lead. But Anthony came up hobbling and holding his thigh. He called a timeout with 6:11 left in the quarter, and after being looked at by medical staff, never returned to the court.
Anthony sat out Jan. 14 with a sprained right ankle, and after shooting just 40-for-126 in six games upon his return, he admitted he rushed back too soon. Anthony sat two more games late last month with the ankle, left wrist and right thumb injuries.
