Suns power forward Amare Stoudemire missed Thursday morning's practice in Tucson because he had returned to Phoenix to have a torn iris in his right eye examined.
Stoudemire was poked in the eye by Boris Diaw during Wednesday night's scrimmage. He is expected to return to Tucson tonight but will not participate because his eyes were dilated by the Suns team ophthalmologist, Jay Schwartz, during an exam today.
"He got hit pretty hard," Suns General Manager Steve Kerr said. "He had some damage to his iris, which is not serious fortunately. No damage to the cornea or retina."
Stoudemire is expected to be able to return to action wearing goggles on Friday, when the Suns have a 5 p.m. public scrimmage at McKale Center
Good to hear Amare is alright and not much damage anyway.

Just hope Amare doesn't try pulling any sorta revenge moves on Diaw when they face off in the scrimmage

Speaking of the scrimmage, anybody know what the 2 teams will look like?
Logically, the matchups will be :
Nash vs Dragic
Bell vs Barbs
Barnes vs Hill
Amare vs Diaw
Shaq vs Lopez
But who's gonna play with who? They gonna go starters vs reserves or what?

Each team will have one each of those you would think
plus one of Singletary or Hite
plus Amundson or Tucker
Maybe
Nash
Singletary
Bell
Tucker
Diaw
Amundson
O'Neal
and
Dragic
Hite
Barbosa
Barnes
Hill
Amare
Lopez

^^Yeah, I rather see us do that then go starters vs bench players.
Good thing this year our scrubs are young, high energy guys like Admunson and Singletary instead of wash ups like Pike or Marks

Seems as though Amare will be fine, touch wood! Same goes for all guys in training camp, please stay healthy!
I see similarly a First Unit/Second Unit going head to head at each other in scrimmages. Then again, who knows what Porter is likely to do.....
It seems that camp has been successful so far, hopefully the players continue to warm to each other and to Porter. I'm keen to see what Dragic and Lopez can do on the floor!

I say all Suns players must now wear goggles for added protection when Diaw is present.

That's terrible. I feel bad for Amare. And for Boris as well. He must be guilt-ridden hard. I hope he doesn't have to wear them goggles for the rest of his career. But then again maybe we'll some some Kareem-esque defense from him.

Freak accident... Feel bad for Stat
At least we know that Amare will make the best of it and rock some mad shades...
Imagine if it were Nash or Hill...
