Carmelo Anthony’s hand might not have been feeling 100 percent following his New York Knicks’ too-close-for-comfort road win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night. But he was still feeling up to making jokes, which is about all you can ask for, really.
Anthony — who led the Knicks with 23 points in 38 minutes on Wednesday, but struggled from the floor, missing 14 of his 22 field-goal attempts — injured himself on this dive for a loose ball following a key J.R.

Unfortunately for Knicks fans, the injury might also force Anthony out of the lineup for Thursday night’s nationally televised TNT tilt against the defending NBA champion Miami Heat, whom the Knicks beat handily in their first game of the season.
