Anthony could start the season at power forward with Amar'e Stoudemire battling a knee injury -- a "likely" scenario, according to the New York Daily News.
On the surface it's a minor injury, but it's still a big setback considering how important the preseason was supposed to be to get the Knicks' chemistry issues straightened out.
Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire is expected to miss the start of the regular season because of a left knee injury.
"I can't imagine that," Anthony said in regard to A-Rod's situation. "I can't imagine that. I just feel bad for A-Rod, man. I don't like to see nobody go through that. It's tough."

So the media got to interrogate the various members of the Knicks organization on Monday, from general manager Glen Grunwald to head coach Mike Woodson to new Spanish point guard Pablo Prigioni. Here were some of the topics and my take.
"I think we have a chance to win the whole thing this year," said guard Joe Johnson. "I'm not just saying it. I honestly believe it."
Mike Woodson declined to comment about Jeremy Lin on Knicks' media day.
For better or for worse, the Knicks' window to win is now and it's up to Carmelo Anthony to lead them.
"They're both very good offensive players, but I don't think all of a sudden they're going to become great rebounders and great defenders," Barkley said. "(The Knicks) don't rebound the ball well and they're not a good defensive team."
