Melo pleads to reduced DUI charge: Denver Nuggets All-Star Carmelo Anthony pleaded guilty Tuesday to a reduced charge of driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to probation and community service. "I'm happy that it's over so I get a chance to take care of my business," Anthony said. (Updated 06/24/2008).
Injury Report
Suspension - Suspended for first two games of 2008-09 regular season (Updated - 6/24/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The Nuggets suspended Anthony for the first two games of next season as punishment for his April arrest on suspicion of drunken driving. That announcement by the team Monday came on the same day he was named to the U.S. Olympic team Monday. He averaged 22.4 shots per game in 2006-07, but saw that total drop 19.2 per game while playing alongside A.I. for a full season. Iverson, who averaged almost a full point higher than Melo per game, averaged taking 19.0 shots per game. This means that both players are going to be taking the same amount of shots per game, lessening their overall potential for scoring. A move to another team could benefit Anthony's scoring numbers from a Fantasy perspective if he becomes the unquestioned go-to-guy. (Updated 06/24/2008).
