Carmelo Anthony played on Tuesday against Detroit after missing two games due to injury of the wrist, ankle and thumb. He scored 25 points on 9-of-14 shots and D'Antoni said he expected "good" during the race until Wednesday. But Coach Anthony said the injury to his right ankle still bothered him and can affect the rest of the season.

Davis practiced and scrimmaged for the first time last week, but was forced to sit at training on Monday and Tuesday of the team's shootaround because of back pain. Both diseases are banned from participating in a contact practice on Wednesday, so there is some concern that the disease continues to delay the progress of Davis.
