Knicks F Anthony out with groin injury

GREENBURGH, N.Y. – (AP) — The New York Knicks say they expect Carmelo Anthony to miss a week or two with a strained right groin.

Anthony was hurt Monday, leaving after six minutes of a 99-88 victory over Utah and continuing an injury-plagued season.

Anthony has missed three games with various ankle, wrist and hand injuries and shot poorly in a handful of others while playing through the pain.

The All-Star forward leads the Knicks with 22.3 points per game.
