Carmelo Anthony is suffering from elbow bursitis, a condition he had earlier last season in Denver.

It flared up with the Knicks in late February when he talked about the possibility of having a drainage procedure but added he "doesn't like going under the knife."

After his second game as a Knick on Feb. 25 in Cleveland, Anthony said his right elbow felt numb in the fourth quarter.

"When I shoot it's hard for me to follow through after a shot, it's just painful," Anthony said.

Anthony proceeded to wear a shooting sleeve the following game and donned one off and on the rest of the season.
