The Los Angeles Lakers forward, Carmelo anthony, could miss his first game of the 2021-22 season on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics because he has a fever and an upset stomach.
The Lakers revealed that the symptoms are not related to COVID-19 so the team will evaluate how the veteran feels hours before the commitment to make a final decision.
The 37-year-old averages 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 3-pointers per game in 24 appearances this season.
Lakers status report for Celtics game Tuesday night: Carmelo Anthony (flu-like symptoms; stomach illness; non-COVID related) is questionable. Anthony Davis (left thumb sprain) and LeBron James (rectus abdominis strain) are likely.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis have some discomfort but are both expected to play the Boston Celtics.
Davis has problems in his left hand, while James is still affected by discomfort in the abdominal area, but for now everything indicates that they will go out to play one of the most important rivalries in the NBA.
