Carmelo Anthony has denied reports that he has decided to leave the New York Knicks at the end of the current NBA season.

The forward, who is due to become a free agent next summer, recently described the team as the laughing stock of the league, while ESPN reported that he has decided to leave the team at the end of this campaign.

However, Newsday has said that the 29-year-old has dismissed the reports, stating that he has not talked to those close to him about his plans for next season yet.

The Knicks have lost their last nine games.
