New York Knicks' Carmelo Anthony targets return from injury

Carmelo Anthony hopes to return from injury when the New York Knicks face the Milwaukee Bucks at the O2 in London on Thursday.
Anthony has missed the Knicks' last six games with a knee injury, doing little to help a season that could go down as the worst in the franchise's history - they have only won five of 40 games so far.
But he is keen to make his comeback and play at the arena where he won gold for the United States at London 2012.
"This is London, man. We don't get these chances often," Anthony said.
"You know, it is a big possibility that I will come out here and play. I've still got today, tomorrow before the game. It is a big game.
"So for me to be able to try and push myself and at least get out there on the court...I am looking forward to that, so hopefully I can do that.
"But once I am back, it is not just about London. Once I play, then I am going to continue."
This is the fifth regular-season game in the capital since 2011, with tickets selling out in just one hour.
