The New York Knicks will play the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight but unfortunately Carmelo Anthony will not get to face off against his old teammates since Iman Shumpert is out after right wrist surgery and J.R. Smith is out with a right knee contusion. The two former Knicks were traded to the Cavaliers last season and went from the tutelage of Melo to LeBron James, a trade James reportedly pushed for. During an interview today, Anthony had a funny comment about losing his teammates.
Melo says he’s disappointed he won’t get to play against JR & Shump, who are injured. Jokingly says, “LeBron stole all my brothers from me.”

Of course he was joking as he and Shump and Smith all remain in contact but you know what they say, there’s a bit of truth in each joke.
