    Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has a small tear in his right labrum, the team announced.

    No surgery is required.

    Anthony will sit out the final two games of the season and will be re-evaluated in a month, the team said.

    Anthony had been playing through pain in his right shoulder since aggravating the injury on April 2 against the Nets.

    Coach Mike Woodson said an MRI taken earlier Tuesday revealed the tear. Woodson anticipates that Anthony will be able to resume basketball activity in a month.

    "Obviously, he knew it was bothering him when he hurt it two weeks ago but he hung in with us trying to make this last push to get in the playoffs," Woodson said.
