Carmelo Anthony to Return Thursday, Play Saturday

Filed under: Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets announced Tuesday night that star forward Carmelo Anthony will return to the team Thursday after leaving to grieve the death of his sister.



Anthony already has missed four games following the Dec. 21 death of sister, Michelle Anthony, due to a pre-existing medical condition. He won't be with the team Wednesday at Minnesota, meaning he will have missed five games.



Anthony's first game back is expected to be Saturday at home against Sacramento.



Michelle Anthony's funeral was Monday in Baltimore. In a statement released by the team, Anthony said he appreciates the outpouring of support since her death.
