Carmelo Anthony no juega ante Lakers por razones personales

El alero de Portland Trail Blazers, Carmelo Anthony, no jugará esta noche ante Los Angeles Lakers por razones personales, anunció el equipo.

Anthony promedia esta temporada 15.8 puntos por partido, 6.7 rebotes y 1.6 asistencias en su regreso a la NBA con los Blazers.

Anthony conoció a Kobe Bryant durante los Juegos Olímpicos de 2008 y 2012, donde consiguieron medallas de oro. Carmelo posteó el martes en Instragam un mensaje muy emotivo acerca de la muerte de Bryant, en el cual dijo que Bryant pensaba ir al juego de este viernes.

Damn Bro!! 😥 I hate when I have so much to say, but I can't put any of it into words. The times I have the most to say are the times that I can't talk. I'm screaming inside but I can't be heard. YOU don't know how hard it is to try to pretend to smile when I have these clouds of emotions. YOU just called me and told me you were coming to the game Friday and that you were proud of me and "regardless of anything, stay true to myself and STAYME7O" We were just laughing about how hard YOU was working GiGi and her teammates and I told YOU they need a day off 😂😢 This pain is almost unbearable Champ! Why you bro? Why GiGi? Why leave Vanessa with this Sadness and Pain. WHY? This will never make sense to me. I know I'm not suppose to question GODs Will. I know GOD doesn't make mistakes. It just seems like It always rains the hardest on those who deserve the sun. There are moments in life when there's simply NO words to describe the pain within. This is one of them. YOU will continue to be Loved. YOU will be missed. YOU will forever be remembered. YOUR legacy will live on FOREVER. OUR FRIENDSHIP will never be forgotten. I know YOU will be near, Even if I don't see YOU. PEACE KING!!! "There Are No Goodbyes. Where Ever You'll be, You'll be in Our Hearts" All Praise Due #STAYME7O
