He also could remain a reserve who plays restricted minutes. Searching for ways to improve next season, the New York Knicks could use a reliable second scorer and dependable low-post option. They have no way of knowing if Stoudemire can provide either because of his knees. ''He's a heck of a player and I think we all know that. The question is his health and how much he can play,'' general manager Glen Grunwald said Tuesday. ''So we've got our medical staff and training staff working with him to design an offseason program that will get him to full health, and we hope he'll be able to play significant minutes for us next year. How much that will be, we don't know at this time.'' Stoudemire was limited to just 29 games in the regular season and four brief appearances in the postseason because of a pair of knee surgeries.

After sitting out the first two contests against the Indiana Pacers, Stoudemire is set to return tomorrow, as coach Mike Woodson told reporters -- including Marc Berman of The New York Post -- that he's going to play the big man between 10 and 15 minutes.Earlier this season, Stoudemire came back from the same knee debridement surgery he's attempting to return from now. At that point, it took the forward several games to regain his timing. He's hoping to shorten that span now, as he knows he can't afford to be rusty in the playoffs.“I expect to contribute the best I can,’’ Stoudemire said today. “I don’t have time to find my rhythm. I have to be ready from the start. That’s what it’s going to be.’’Stoudemire had been attempting to boost his conditioning and get back to game-ready by participating in 3-on-3 scrimmag Fri, 10 May 2013 08:41:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_to_play_10_15_minutes_in_game_3/13589033 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_to_play_10_15_minutes_in_game_3/13589033 Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire to play 10-15 minutes in Game 3 http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/knicks_amare_stoudemire_to_play_10_15_minutes_in_game_3/13589033 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/4/3/439da3c5e23653094d58e291d1b4fdecc6d3918d/mini/6230034.jpg Amare Stoudemire will likely be limited to about 10 to 15 minutes per game if he is able to return during New York's playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. With Stoudemire nearing a comeback from a two-month absence following right knee surgery, both he and the Knicks are keeping expectations low. ''To be honest with you, I don't think we or he is expecting to come out and play 20 or 30 minutes and to score 15, 20, 30 points,'' forward Carmelo Anthony said Thursday. ''I think he's just trying to gradually get himself back going. He understands that, we understand that, so if he says he's ready to go, he's ready to go. I mean, he's one of our guys. If he can help us, which we know he can, he can do that.'' Not for long, though. Coach Mike Woodson said the Knicks need to be cautious with Stoudemire, who played in only 29 games after returning from left knee surgery before having to get the same procedure on the other knee.

Woodson added that Stoudemire will scrimmage against his teammates on Thursday, and if all goes well he’ll suit up for Saturday’s Game 3 matchup with the Pacers."If he feels fine after Friday, then I think we will play him Saturday," Woodson said.Stoudemire has been sidelined since March 7 due to a knee injury. He underwent surgery to clear debris from the ailing knee on March 11.In his place, the Knicks have mostly used veteran forward Kenyon Martin. Considering how well Martin has performed over the past two months, Stoudemire’s return isn’t expected to cut into his minutes too much. Instead, it will likely mean a decrease in time for Steve Novak, who’s been hampered by injury anyway.Follow @hoop Sun, 05 May 2013 10:00:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_ruled_out_game_1_2/13553594 http://network.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_ruled_out_game_1_2/13553594 Knicks’ Amar’e Stoudemire ruled out Game 1 & 2 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/articles/knicks_amare_stoudemire_ruled_out_game_1_2/13553594 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/2/6/2661ce5689c4b84a682929bc599596ef1da73717/mini/5883332.jpg After eliminating the Boston Celtics 88-80 on Friday night, New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson said forward Amare Stoudemire could return to play in Game 3 against the Pacers in Indiana.

Stoudemire appears set to get back on the court, as a source close to the big man told Ian Begley and Jared Zwerlingof ESPN New York that they believe he will return to action in the second round.Stoudemire continues recovering from knee surgery he underwent in March. The procedure removed debridement from his ailing right knee.Yesterday, Stoudemire went through a few drills with teammates. After regular practice was over, he worked on his post-up game with assistant coach LaSalle Thompson. Stoudemire was reportedly moving aggressively and at a somewhat quick pace. He finished up by running for a while after shooting free throws.Stoudemire still isn’t quite there as far as his conditioning goes, and he’ll have to see time in 5-on-5 scrimmages before he’s cleared to return for the Knicks.

His goal was initially to return for the start of the playoffs, but he's been ruled out for the first round. Now he's setting his sights on Round 2, and coach Mike Woodson told reporters -- including Al Iannazzone of Newsday -- that Stoudemire will "absolutely" play for the Knicks when he's healthy.There has been talk that the Knicks could be worried about a disruption to team chemistry when Stoudemire returns. New York has won 19 of its last 21 games, and all of these victories have come with Stoudemire watching from the sidelines.But Woodson was quick to dismiss this notion, as he said that this isn't a concern "at all." He told reporters that they could worry about the proposed disruption, adding that Stoudemire is "a big piece to our puzzle."Knicks big man Tyson Chandler agrees with Woodson, noting that the team's veteran leadership and coaching staff wouldn't allow a Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:00:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_will_absolutely_play_when_healthy/13512188 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/knicks_amare_stoudemire_will_absolutely_play_when_healthy/13512188 Knicks' Amar'e Stoudemire will 'absolutely' play when healthy http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/knicks_amare_stoudemire_will_absolutely_play_when_healthy/13512188 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/2/6/2661ce5689c4b84a682929bc599596ef1da73717/mini/5883332.jpg New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire was hopeful that he’d be able to return in time to rejoin his teammates for the first round of the NBA Playoffs. However, coach Mike Woodson told reporters – including Ian Begleyof ESPN New York – that Stoudemire has been all but ruled out for the Knicks opening-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics."I think he's going to be out,'' Woodson said Thursday. "That's my gut."Stoudemire has returned to the practice court, but he’s yet to start running again. He underwent surgery on March 11 to clear up debris in his right knee.When the procedure initially took place, the Knicks said Stoudemire was expected to miss four to six weeks. Given this time frame for return, the forward would have been back for the start of the second-round, at the earliest.Stoudemire is still not offering an exact target date for his return, as there are still several steps remaining in his rehab.

Last week, Dorner wreaked havoc in the LA area for 10 days during a killing spree in which he took the lives of two police officers and the son and daughter-in-law of a former police captain. On Tuesday, Dorner shot and killed himself after officers cornered him at his hideout cabin. Enter New York Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire, who was apparently touched by Dorner’s 20-page manifesto that he left on his Facebook page. In the rant, which the former officer addressed to America, Dorner explained how he felt he was a victim of institutionalized racism and urged the black community to stop “digressing.” “Interesting,” Stoudemire wrote on his Twitter account before linking to the piece. “This is a must read!!” A number of followers instantly began bashing Stoudemire for promoting the work of a murderer.
