NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov met with Carmelo Anthony in Los Angeles on the same day a spokeswoman for the Russian billionaire said he had no plans to sit down with the All-Star forward, according to multiple reports.

Minority owner Jay-Z also was involved in Saturday's meeting, according to the New York Daily News.

The Nuggets have looked into trading Anthony since he declined to sign a three-year contract extension worth nearly $65 million this season. The Nets were close to a deal twice, and the New York Knicks are considered the other favorite to land Anthony if Denver decides to move him.

New Jersey and Denver recently renewed trade talks for Anthony for the third time this season. But Anthony, who can became a free agent after this season, insisted twice Friday that no meeting was planned with Prokhorov and Ellen Pinchuk, a spokeswoman for the owner, made the same claim earlier Saturday.
