As of this summer, he was traded to the Grizzlies and has played 320 regular season games for the Magic, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 41.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.5%.
Anthony also played in 12 playoff games for the Grizzlies, averaging 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 30.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 10.5%.
In the regular season last season, Anthony played 67 times for the Grizzlies, averaging 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. In the playoffs, he played five games in a row, averaging 2.2 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
