He was a late scratch in Thursdays 103-90 loss at Golden State due to a right shoulder injury.Before the injury, Anthony had talked about sitting out games to rest, a practice that has gained popularity among NBA coaches in recent years. Earlier this week the reigning champs, the Cleveland Cavaliers, didnt bring stars LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love on a one-game road trip to Memphis.I think everyone needs a rest day, to be honest with you, Anthony told Newsday.
