Melo's been fasting for the past 15 days

NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony has been fasting for 15 days and says he has struggled to find energy during that time.

“I usually do it to get some clarity in my life and spiritual reasons,” Anthony said after going for 27 points and seven boards as the Knicks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 100-87 win over the New Orleans Hornets. “But I’m done now.”

Agree, but I would keep him on a mins limit.

[Knicks4life]

The lack of big men depth due to injuries is also probably keeping Amare on the bench.

[Knicks4life]

Suns pursue trade for Knicks guard Iman Shumpert

As the Phoenix Suns try to reshuffle their roster for the future, their front office remains motivated to try to acquire New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

The Suns are willing to give New York a package that includes forward Jared Dudley and possibly a future first-round pick for Shumpert, but the Knicks have so far shown no inclination to do such a deal, sources said.

After tearing his left anterior cruciate ligament in the Knicks' opening game of last season's playoffs, Shumpert returned in January and has started the past 11 games. While Shumpert is still working himself back to the high level with which he performed as a rookie, the Knicks' front office remains a strong proponent of his talent, sources said.

After regretting they passed on Shumpert in the 2011 NBA draft, the Suns pushed the Knicks to include him in sign-and-trade scenarios discussed for Steve Nash in July. In the past week, the Suns have scouted Shumpert in person, sources said.

Dudley has three years and $12.8 million left on his contract, and has been available in trade talks, league sources said. He's averaging 11.8 points and 3.6 rebounds this season. Phoenix has also tried to move backup point guard Sebastian Telfair for a second-round pick, sources said.

Leave Shump Shump alone Phoenix.

The New York Knicks have signed forward Kenyon Martin for the remainder of the season, the team announced on Friday.

Martin is coming off two 10-day contracts with the Knicks, during which he played in six games and averaged 5.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and nearly 1.0 blocks in 19 minutes. The 35-year-old made his first start of the season on Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers due to Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler's leg injuries.

While Martin scored a season-high 12 points, he suffered a knee bone contusion late in the 105-90 loss. His playing status looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers is uncertain.

Even when Anthony and Chandler return, Martin's interior scoring, defense and rebounding will help the Knicks in the six-week absence of Amar'e Stoudemire (right knee debridement), who provided a big punch inside for the team.

It's great to see K-Mart as a spark off the bench, but the way these injuries have been piling up is insane
