NBA News Roundup, Tuesday, August 13th: Carmelo Anthony will make a return to the NBA, Steph Curry hits back at Golden State's critics and more

Richard Jefferson believes that Carmelo Anthony’s career in the NBA is not yet over

Carmelo Anthony's reputation has taken a major hit over the past 24 months

While a few notable veteran free agents remain available, Carmelo Anthony’s future continues to attract the most buzz. The former Knicks superstar has not played since being told to find a new team by the Houston Rockets back in November, and despite his lengthy absence, Anthony has stated his intention to take any role to further his career.

While the 35-year-old has yet to attract any firm interest this summer, Richard Jefferson told ESPN’S Get Up that Anthony will eventually get his opportunity to return:

I believe he will be given another opportunity. You never know the injuries that can happen or the trade deadline, playoffs. I think he will get an opportunity.

During an illustrious career, Anthony has been named as an All-Star on ten occasions but has never played in an NBA Finals.
