SHOWTIME SAYS…
The NBA has suspended New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony for one game without pay after his altercation with Kevin Garnett outside of Madison Square Garden on Monday.
Anthony said that he wanted to have a one on one conversation with Garnett after the two had a small scuffle on the court Monday night.
NBA officials thought that Melo’s actions warranted a suspension.
“There are no circumstances in which it is acceptable for a player to confront an opponent after a game,” NBA executive vice president basketball operations Stu Jackson said in a statement. “Carmelo Anthony attempted to engage with Kevin Garnett multiple times after Monday’s game and therefore a suspension was warranted.
