Updating an earlier report that Carmelo Anthony is questionable for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, it sounds as if the New York Knicks are leaning towards shutting Anthony down for the season's final two games.
The degree of certainty expressed by beat reporters varies, however.
Woodson said Melo will be shut down for the final two games no matter what doctors say.

Woodson said he wants to shut down Melo for final 2 games if it's his call. Woodson said no reason to play him.

In any case, it makes perfect sense to shut Anthony down. As explained in the post below, the Knicks have nothing left to play for and Anthony's workload has been ridiculous since he entered the league.
