SYRACUSE, NY – Carmelo Anthony, who helped Syracuse University to the 2003 NCAA Championship, is scheduled to return to the Carrier Dome for an NBA preseason game between the Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns on Friday, October 17 at 7:30 p.m.

“I am a lot more excited about this upcoming preseason knowing that I get to go back and play in the Dome again,” said Anthony. “Syracuse and the Dome are special places for me. It will be great to come back and play in front of everyone again.”

"We will be utilizing this event as a vehicle to help launch an expansion of our programs to Central New York, but at the same time are thrilled to be able to provide the community such an exciting and high-profile entertainment option,” said Arthur Jackson, president and founder of One on One Basketball, Inc. “This is a big time NBA event."

"This is the fifth NBA game which I have helped bring to Syracuse and it is far and away the best matchup yet,” noted Chris Cordes, the New York director of One on One Basketball, Inc. “These are the two highest scoring teams in the NBA, and in addition to Carmelo, who will forever maintain folk-hero status here, and Shaq, who is an iconic NBA figure, these rosters are peppered with current and former All-Stars and League MVPs."

I'm looking forward to watching former Rockets Eric Piatkowski, Bobby Jones, and Eduardo Najera, and Alando Tucker out of UT.

What if Carmelo is traded before then? And aren't the Suns supposed to play an outdoor preseason game? Or did that already happen?

I was thinking about 'Melo getting traded. I think Denver should trade him, but the price they're asking for is too high. I think the Suns play the outdoor game in 2009.
