NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthonys will miss the final two games with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, ending his first playoff-less season and potentially his New York Knicks career. Bryce Petty Jets Jersey . Anthony had one of his finest individual seasons, averaging 27.4 points and a career-best 8.1 rebounds in 77 games. But it stunningly amounted to nothing, as the Knicks were eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday night. "Weve chatted a little bit and I feel for him more than anybody, because the kind of season that he had, he deserves to be in the playoffs and I feel bad about that. I do," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Tuesday. Anthony initially hurt the shoulder earlier this month but kept playing as the Knicks were trying to rally to grab the No. 8 seed. But Woodson was leaning toward not playing him Tuesday at Brooklyn or Wednesday at home against Toronto, even before Anthony had an MRI exam Tuesday that revealed the tear. "Obviously he knew it was bothering him when he hurt it a few weeks ago, but he hung in there with us and tried to make this last push to get in the playoffs," Woodson said. The Knicks said Anthony would not require surgery at this point and would be evaluated in about a month. After that, the Knicks can only hope that when he can play again, its for them. Anthony said before the season began that he planned to opt out of his contract and become a free agent in July. New president Phil Jackson said he had no doubt that Anthony could be the central piece of the Knicks future, but Anthony will likely want to consider his options after missing the playoffs for the first time in his 11-year career. He will turn 30 next month and knows it will be tough for the Knicks to get much better next season, since they already face salary cap woes and wont have a lottery pick, having traded it to Denver in the deal to acquire him in 2011. Woodson said Amare Stoudemire would play against the Nets. Jordan Jenkins Jersey . Speaking to members of the media on Tuesday for the first time since returning home from the Winter Games, Tavares said he will need eight to 12 weeks to fully recover. Bryce Petty Jersey .Y. - It was a new day for Henrik Lundqvist, and the Rangers were looking forward rather than backwards.MILAN, Italy -- Substitute Adem Ljajic scored on his debut to help Roma to a 3-0 victory over newly-promoted Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday. Verona had started the season well with a victory over AC Milan on the opening day, but was overturned by an impressive second-half performance from Roma. Milan picked up its first points of the campaign with a 3-1 victory over Cagliari, while Fiorentina continued to impress after some shrewd off-season signings, winning 5-2 at Genoa, with Giuseppe Rossi and Mario Gomez scoring twice. "I am not surprised by Rossis form, as he is someone who has always been able to find the net," Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said. "We know he can improve further and with Gomez they make the perfect couple. "We played a perfect opening 20 minutes and thought we had finished off the game, but we slowed the tempo in the second half and allowed Genoa back into it. We need to grow, as again we conceded two goals tonight." Inter Milan also maintained its perfect start to the season with a 3-0 win at Catania. Roma took the lead in the 56th minute when Verona defender Fabrizio Cacciatore deflected Maicons cross past his own goalkeeper. There was no doubt about the goalscorer of Romas second goal three minutes later as Miralem Pjanic spotted Rafael off his line and placed a delightful 25-meter chip into the top left for an early contender for goal of the season. Ljajic, who had come on 14 minutes earlier, sealed the result in the 66th with a low drive into the bottom left corner. In Milan, Robinho gave Massimiliano Allegris side the lead in the eighth minute. The Brazilian, who had been surprisingly chosen in favour of Stephan El Shaarawy, drove in Mario Balotellis cross from nine meters. Milan doubled its lead on the half hour. Cagliari goalkeeper Michael Agazzi pulled off a great save to deny Balotelli but Philippe Mexes was on hand to tap home the follow up. Cagliari reduced the deficit two minutes later when Marco Sau curled a stunning strike from just outside the penalty area into the top right corner. Balotelli grabbed his second of the season in the 63rd, stopping a poor defensive header and driving powerfully into the top right corner. "I liked the approach to this game, as we attacked and defended well," Allegri said. "It was an important victory, even if we allowed Cagliari a little too much of the ball. "We have to avoid some mistakes, we have already conceded three avoidable goals so far this season. Muhammad Wilkerson Jets Jersey. In any case, the week went well with Champions League qualification and this victory. I liked the teams attitude, now we need to continue." Alberto Aquilani headed Fiorentina in front in the 10th minute before a goalkeeping error gifted the visitors their second. Mattia Perrin spilled Rossis long-range shot and it bounced into the net. Fiorentina looked to have wrapped up the match four minutes from halftime when Gomez sidefooted home Manuel Pasquals cross for his first goal for his new club since signing from Bayern Munich. Genoa reduced the deficit nine minutes after the break when former Fiorentina striker Alberto Gilardino volleyed home Francesco Lodis cross but the visitors immediately scored again with Rossis third goal in two games. The U.S.-born forward is proving he is back to his best after two years of injuries. Lodi scored a penalty on the hour mark for Genoa after Marvin Compper brought down Gilardino in the area. It got worse for Genoa as Mario Sampirisi was sent off in stoppage time after getting a second yellow card for fouling Mati Fernandez. Gomez drove the resulting penalty into the bottom left corner. Fiorentina, Roma and Inter -- along with Juventus and Napoli -- are the only teams to have won both their opening Serie A matches. Goals from Rodrigo Palacio, Yuto Nagatomo and Ricky Alvarez helped Inter to a comfortable win. Udinese picked up its first points of the season with a 3-1 victory over Parma. Emmanuel Badu fired Udinese in front in the 11th minute after a defensive error and both Amauri and Antonio Di Natale hit the woodwork before Thomas Heurtaux doubled the hosts lead in the 72nd. Antonio Cassano found himself unmarked to head home his first goal in a Parma shirt but Luis Muriel made sure of victory with a powerful penalty after Pedro Mendes was harshly adjudged to have fouled Andrea Lazzari. Livorno beat fellow promoted side Sassuolo 4-1 for its first points on its return to the top flight. Simone Zaza scored Sassuolos first ever Serie A goal to level after Leandro Greco had given Livorno the lead. But Innocent Emeghara and Paulinho put Livorno on its way to victory before Emegharas late penalty. Sampdoria drew 2-2 against Bologna as both sides earned their first point of the season. Panagiotis Kone scored a stunning overhead kick for Bologna, which also had two goals disallowed. Atalanta also got off the mark, with a 2-0 victory over Torino.
