Carmelo Anthony’s time with Houston appears to be coming to an end. The 10-time All-Star is now considering his options for the future as reports suggest that the Rockets may not re-sign him.
Both Carmelo Anthony and the Rockets front office are surprised by how quickly the partnership is dissolving. Anthony will not be playing in the team’s third game, citing illness as the reason.
There have been no discussions between Carmelo Anthony and Rockets GM Daryl Morey. Anthony had joined the Rockets as a free agent in the offseason. Morey defended Anthony against unfair speculation, acknowledging his Hall of Fame caliber.
Houston has moved away from utilizing Carmelo Anthony in only ten games this season as they search for stability. Gary Clark has taken on a more significant role in the rotation, reducing Anthony’s playing time. Anthony has averaged 13.4 points on 40.5% shooting in the last ten games, with the team standing at 5-7 for the season.
