Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony isn't done yet.
The 36-year-old Anthony, who had spent more than a year out of the NBA -- after sour endings in Oklahoma City and Houston -- before signing with the Trail Blazers last season, expects to return to the league next season.
"In my mind, I'll be right back in the fray of things when next season comes," Anthony said Saturday after the Trail Blazers fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in a season-ending 131-122 Game 5 loss. The Lakers won the series 4 games to 1.
