Carmelo: Shoulder is getting better

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony told reporters that he does not believe he will require surgery on his injured shoulder.
"I don't think so," Anthony replied when asked about his shoulder at a ribbon-cutting event for two refurbished courts he provided in Brooklyn.


"My shoulder feels much better," Anthony added. "For the past 4-to-5 weeks, I've let it rest. It's still not 100 percent yet."
Anthony first suffered the shoulder injury April 14 against the Indiana Pacers and said his shoulder "popped in and out" after Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett tugged on it during the first round of the playoffs.
Anthony, 29, averaged 28.7 points and 6.9 rebounds for the Knicks last season.
