Five Reasons The New York Knicks Will Make The NBA Playoffs

3. Melo’s Ankle

On Jan. 12 at Madison Square Garden, Knicks’ superstar Carmelo Anthony rolled his ankle. 

The frustrating part about this particular one, though, was that he did it at midcourt while stepping on an official’s foot. That’s right, a referee was the reason Melo got banged up. 

It forced the 31-year old NBA All-Star to miss several games since, further forcing a .500 team to plummet to nine-games under .500. 

Thank to Adam Silver and the powers that be making the All-Star break unusually long, Melo will most definitely benefit.
