After undergoing surgery this morning to repair a partially detached retina in his right eye, Amare Stoudemire is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.
Stoudemire could return to physical activity in eight weeks but a team press release said that would “depend upon his healing process.”
This is the same eye that kept Stoudemire out during training camp when Boris Diaw poked it during a practice. At that time, Stoudemire suffered a partially torn iris with no damage to his cornea, retina or lens.
Looking in the rearview, I bet a lot of people are happy they didn't pull the trigger on a trade yesterday. This will also even out the roster with us missing KG next game.
