Carmelo Back at Practice

Good to see that he is recovering well, it would be really big blow to the team if their leading scorer was out for the rest of the tournament.
Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony took part in a 2-hour practice Thursday, two days after hyperextending his knee while playing for the U.S. national team in China.
Anthony, the leading scorer for the U.S. after three exhibition games, practiced after injuring his knee Tuesday night in the 90-86 win against Brazil. Anthony slipped while chasing a ball to the sideline in the second quarter.
“It felt good, I was impressed about the way it felt,” Anthony said after practice Thursday. “I thought it might be sore, but my knee felt good. I got my rhythm back, that was something I was worried about, but it felt good all practice.” #
