Mike Woodson announced tonight that Carmelo Anthony will miss his second straight game with a “sore/stiff” right knee.

Melo missed last night’s 87-77 victory in Detroit after coming out of the game Monday in the second quarter. Woodson classified Melo’s situation as “day-to-day.”

The Knicks will start the same lineup as last night and that won’t include Amar’e Stoudemire. Kurt Thomas will start in Anthony’s place for the second straight game.

Woodson made no mention of Melo playing Saturday vs. Utah. It is also unclear if Anthony has had another MRI since taking his spill Monday in Cleveland. He had an MRI Saturday that Anthony said was clean.

“I’m not overly concerned,’’ Woodson said. “I think he’s day to day. I think eventually he’ll be back on the floor playing.’’
