New York Knicks  forward Carmelo Anthony is claiming he and Tim Hardaway Jr. have no issues with another after a reported verbal altercation between the two.

Carmelo Anthony and Tim Hardaway Jr. are not at odds with another. Well, that’s the story Melo is selling.

In wake of rumors the two recently engaged in a verbal altercation, Anthony cleared the air Wednesday night.

ESPN’s Chris Broussard reported Wednesday that Melo and Hardaway exchanged words that nearly became blows last week.

"The New York Knicks were en route to their fifth straight loss last week against Brooklyn when a frustrated Tim Hardaway Jr. screamed angrily, “Get the rebound!”Certain his second-year teammate was speaking to him, Carmelo Anthony approached Hardaway on the way down the court and used an expletive to ask Hardaway who in the world he thought he was talking to.Anthony, according to sources, used another expletive in telling Hardaway he was going to beat him up when they got into the locker room after the game."

That Melo didn’t deny the report is telling, as it seemingly validates the incident took place.

While we seem to know the two had an altercation, we really don’t have a good idea of whether or not Melo and Hardaway have patched things up, despite Carmelo’s recent comments.

Even if he and Hardaway Jr. were at odds, Melo’s very unlikely to come out and admit that to be the case.

Hopefully for the Knicks’ sake, Melo is being straightforward and he, along with Hardaway and the rest of the team, can come together and start winning some games.

New York sits at 4-19 through 23 games.
