The Nuggets say forward Carmelo Anthony will be a game-time decision Sunday when they visit the Knicks.
Anthony has missed the last two games with a sore right knee, but he worked out on Saturday and felt he was moving better.
He plans to arrive at Madison Square Garden well before Sunday's game to test the knee again.
Anthony was born in New York and spent the first eight years of his life there. There have been reports that he would prefer to play for the Knicks in the future.
