When it was announced that forward Danilo Gallinari tore his ACL before even playing a game with the Celtics, veteran free agent Carmelo Anthony was viewed as a potential replacement.
The 10-time All-Star doesn’t appear to be an option for Boston, at least for now. The Celtics “are not expected to have interest” in signing Anthony ahead of training camp, MassLive’s Brian Robb reported. However, Robb noted that he “could see” the Celtics inquiring Anthony about a deal later in the season if they feel like they need his skill set.
Anthony, 38, has still been able to contribute over the last few seasons.
