The Nuggets lost leading forward Carmelo Anthony with a hamstring injury during the team's win over the Toronto Raptors, the Denver Post is reporting.

His hamstring flared up after Thursday night's victory in Philadelphia, but he said he'll play Sunday in Boston.

"I couldn't sleep last night due to the pain. I tried to go out there and play tonight, but by the third quarter it started tightening up on me," Anthony said.
