PrintLots of buzz surrounding Melo's ankle today. Found the following story by Aaron Lopez talking all about Melo's ankle and some quotes from #15 as well.
Anthony was selected by fans to start for the Western Conference during the Feb. 14 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas, but he said he will not participate if he can’t play in at least one of the next four games leading into the break.
“I wouldn’t do that. I couldn’t have people talking bad about me like that,” Anthony said. “I care about the All-Star game, but I really care about my team.”
Lopez covers the team for the the Nuggets website on NBA.com.

If he doesn't play in 1 of the next 4, I will be really mad
He’s been supposed to play since Houston’s game, come on, are you serious?

Wow, strange...
First he doesn’t return to the court for a nationally televised home game, and now he’s talking about not attending a game which is supposed to break attendance records and is also nationally televised?
What’s going on?
Well, at least he was on the bench for the ESPN-PHX game…right?
ASG is pointless
I’d rather him take the 6 or so days of rest than go play in a pointless game. In the end, it’s the ring that matters, not some stupid game in mid-February those starters are solely based on the fans. Iverson doesn’t really deserve it, but at least he played over 60 minutes….

Really shows a lot of character by Melo
Very admirable. But damn, get healthy man, we can only ride K-Marts lazer shot for so long!
ah the pivot jump and hook/chuck the ball at the basket
the deadliest move in all of basketball, unless of course you’re rudy fernandez and about to be blocked by Chris Andersen
That's great to hear
Melo has definitely matured a lot since Chauncey came to town. Even if he plays a game he shouldn’t play the ASG, you never know how weak that ankle still is. Having a full week or so of off days will fully heal it.

if melo does not play in the all star game
will he go to mexico with chauncey’s family?

Nice to see an Aaron Lopez byline
I mean, I’m sad about Melo’s ankle. But I’m sick of all the talk about it.
So instead I just want to say how happy I am to find out Lopez is still covering the Nuggets. Good man. Although, writing for the team website is practically PR.
Just giving you a hard time, buddy.

Melo finally says what I was assuming all along — that the injury was worse than he wanted to admit.
