On Tuesday, the Portland Trail Blazers fell to the New Orleans Pelicans in a 115-104 loss. The game marked the highly-anticipated season debut of Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony, 35, totaled 10 points and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes played. His listed +/- was a -20.

The Trail Blazers were outscored by 20 with Carmelo Anthony on the floor. That's tied for the third-worst plus-minus of Melo's career in fewer than 25 minutes played.

Anthony and the Trail Blazers agreed to a non-guaranteed deal on Friday. Based on the contract, for each day Anthony is on the roster, he will earn $14,490.

In the upcoming stretch, the NBA veteran will play against old teammates when the Trail Blazers take on the Chicago Bulls on Monday, the Oklahoma City Thunder next Wednesday, and Chicago again next Thursday.
