New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has insisted that whether or not the franchise make the playoffs this season will not affect his decision this summer.
The 29-year-old will likely test free agency at the end of the season, but has previously hinted at a willingness to continue his career with the Knicks.
"I don't think about it like that, that I want to make the playoffs before I make that decision. That decision is going to happen regardless. That time is going to come," he said, Newsday reports.
New York face a difficult task of making the playoffs this year, as they currently sit with a 21-37 record and are still over five games adrift of the Atlanta Hawks in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
