Carmelo Anthony has played hundreds of games in Madison Square Garden in his career. However, Wednesday’s game is a little different than most. It marks the second time he’s playing in the Garden since he was traded by the New York Knicks in 2017.
The MSG crowd made sure to show the future Hall of Famer some love during pregame introductions.
