Nuggets all-star Carmelo Anthony said he won't play in Denver's game Monday against Charlotte due to a sprained left ankle, explaining that "the best bet is to wait until Wednesday's game to get it better. It didn't swell up, so that's a good sign. ... I've had ankle injuries before, but this one is not as bad as the others."
With Melo out, Denver will likely start Joey Graham in his place, for that's who coach George Karl has started in other games Anthony missed due to injury.
Anthony is second in the NBA in scoring (29.7), trailing his friend LeBron James of Cleveland (29.9), and his absence will be huge against the Bobcats, a team that has lost just three games in January.
Anthony came to Pepsi Center today to receive treatment on the ankle and left wearing a protective boot to keep him from limping.
"It's a fashion statement," Melo said jokingly.
