Phoenix Suns Would Like To Know If They Can Rescind Not Trading Amar'e

Suns All-Star power forward Amaré Stoudemire is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery this morning to repair a partially detached retina in his right eye.

Stoudemire could return to physical activity in eight weeks but a team press release said that would “depend upon his healing process” and that his surgeon, Dr. Pravin Dugel of Spectra Eye Institute in Sun City, stressed that recoveries are on a case-by-case basis. Eight weeks from today will be two days after the regular season ends.

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.

Stoudemire appeared to injure the eye in the first quarter of Wednesday’s Suns win at the Los Angeles Clippers. He was bothered by the eye during an inbound play and then continued motioning toward it after trying to block a slam by Al Thornton, who hit Stoudemire’s with his off-hand. He came out of the game briefly but re-entered and finished with 42 points, his second best scoring game of the season.
