Carmelo likely to sit out last 2 Knicks games

It looks like Carmelo Anthony is out for the season.

Mike Woodson said Anthony likely has played his last game of the season, which is perhaps his last game as a Knick.

Anthony was getting his strained right shoulder re-evaluated with an MRI exam Tuesday morning and did not go to Brooklyn for the Knicks’ shootaround at Barclays Center.

Woodson said Anthony is expected to miss the Nets game Tuesday night, and the Knicks’ lame-duck coach said there’s no reason to play Anthony when this disappointing season ends Wednesday against Toronto at the Garden without a playoff berth or lottery pick.

“I would probably shut him down, even if he could play,’’ Woodson said. “I’m going to tell him I’m not going to play him. That’s what I’m going to do.’’

Anthony has said he will opt out of his contract after the season to become a free agent. The Knicks’ hiring of president Phil Jackson has greatly enhanced their chances of keeping him. Anthony called the Jackson hire “a big move for me’’ Sunday night.

Anthony would finish the season with a 27.4 scoring average on 45.2 percent shooting in 77 games, averaging 38.7 minutes. He shot a healthy 40 percent from 3-point land and hauled in a career-high 8.2 rebounds.

He has been bothered by a shoulder since the last Nets game, when he got entangled with Joe Johnson.

The Lakers have the salary cap space to pursue Anthony, but that seems unlikely. The Bulls, Rockets and Clippers will have interest, but need to pull off a sign-and-trade unless they make deals to get under the cap.
