New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony sat out Thursday night’s 103-97 loss to the Chicago Bulls because of left knee soreness and admitted before Thursday’s shootaround that people close to him are trying to get him to shut things down for a few weeks.

“I have multiple people say kind of just shut it down,” Anthony said. “Or just take time off. But at the end of the day, it’s hard for me to just do that right now in the midst of what’s happening with the team and this season. So just trying to be smart about that.”
