Carmelo Anthony will sit out for at least two more games to rest a sore ankle and a painful wrist.

“I think I was trying to be a superhero, trying to prove to my teammates that I can play hurt, trying to hide it,” Anthony said. “But at the end of the day, me doing that, it wasn’t really doing nothing but hurting the team.”

Anthony, who is shooting 39.4 percent from the floor, said he and the Knicks’ training staff discussed the possibility of an extended rest after a 91-81 loss in Cleveland on Wednesday.

“I was trying to hide it,” Anthony said. “Talking to Coach, kept telling him I was all right, telling my teammates I was all right. But at the end of the day, if you looking at the games over the last week, week and a half, I just wasn’t myself physically. It was taking a toll on me mentally. So I just decided, we decided together, to just shut it down right now for the next couple days and just see what happens after that.”
