Carmelo Anthony is playing through a weakened shooting shoulder that is easily aggravated during games.

Anthony first suffered the injury on Dec. 11th against the Lakers diving for a loose ball.

“It’s bad,” Anthony said. “You know what it is, it’s an adjustment that you have to make on the fly. Like some days it feels good, some days it’s tight. Throughout the course of the game, certain shots, certain moves, you feel like the strength isn’t there. So it’s just a matter of figuring out how to play through it. What’s working? What’s not?

“It feels good during the game. And then you irritate it. And then you kind of have to work backwards again to get it back stronger. But I’m constant around-the-clock treatment.”
