<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">SAN ANTONIO - Saying he missed Wednesday's game with the Clippers to attend to "a family emergency," Amar? Stoudemire said speculation that he and the Suns are at odds over the timetable for his recovery from knee surgery is unfounded. "I haven't felt any pressure. I want to be out there when I'm healthy and they want the same thing. It's in everyone's best interest," Stoudemire said after Friday's 108-102 loss to the Spurs. "I hope we're all on the same page with that, and I think we are. I missed the game for family reasons. I needed to be somewhere else." But before the game, Suns coach Mike D'Antoni didn't sound like he was aware of any family problem involving Stoudemire, although he said he hasn't spoken with his player specifically about the matter. "It's understandable to a certain extent because he's frustrated that he's not ready and we understand that," D'Antoni said. "But I expect all my players to be at the games. It's a little quirk that I have." Stoudemire had another light day of rehab Friday, doing some strength exercises and shooting free throws and short jumpers on the AT&T Center floor before the game. He admitted Thursday that his rehab schedule "is at a standstill," mostly to a fluid build-up in his right knee that has caused stiffness and discomfort. Stoudemire underwent microfracture surgery on the left knee Oct. 15 and said last week that if his right knee felt better, ?I would have been back playing? by this time. He said he is frustrated, put his chance at returning this season at 50-50 and said he is thinking more about not playing at all this season recently than at any point in his rehab process.</div> Source
