Anthony suffered the injury April 4 against the Wizards but X-rays came back negative.
Coach Woodson on @carmeloanthony's shoulder: "He knew it was bothering him, but he hung in there to help us make a playoff run."

Despite collecting wins in five of their last seven games, the Knicks were eliminated from playoff contention Friday when the Hawks knocked off the Nets to clinch the eighth seed.
Anthony, who has a $23.53-million player option for 2014-15 and has claimed he's uncertain on where he'll play next year, finished the season averaging 27.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 77 games.
