Maybe the delayed training camp won’t be so bad for Carmelo Anthony.
He revealed more elements to his mysterious offseason, disclosing last night he had knee and elbow surgery simultaneously in May. Anthony disclosed the surgeries after playing 48 minutes and dropping 31 points with 17 rebounds last night at the sweaty Palestra in a lockout-inspired barnstorming-tour loss.
The Knicks never announced the procedures. Melo said he had arthroscopic surgery on the left knee and an elbow procedure, as he suffers from chronic bursitis.
“Can’t tell, can you?” Melo said after his rugged performance.
Anthony said it was the first time in his life he’s had surgery.
“I did both of them,” Anthony said. “They were bothering me seven years.”
Anthony said the procedures came at the same time.
