    But it sure loves him.



    Tonight's game

    SUNS AT MAGIC

    WHERE: TD Waterhouse Centre, Orlando.

    WHEN: 5 p.m.

    TV/RADIO: UPN-45/ KTAR-AM (620).

    SUNS UPDATE: The news wasn't good on forward Amare Stoudemire, who is likely to remain on the injured list for the rest of December because of an ankle sprain. The club plays 17 games this month and Stoudemire could miss as many as 14 more games, clear into the first week of January.

    MAGIC UPDATE: Orlando is on a historical slide, having lost 19 straight games. The first 10 losses in the skid got coach Doc Rivers fired, and his replacement, Johnny Davis, hasn't won yet. Orlando will be looking to ambush a Phoenix team playing its third road game in four nights.


    Love it or hate it, Marion better get used to it. The Suns learned early Sunday morning that power forward Amare Stoudemire is likely to miss about four weeks because of a sprained ankle. That translates to about 14 games.

    A magnetic resonance imaging test showed no fracture, but trainer Aaron Nelson said the injury is a third-degree sprain - with first degree being the least serious - and Stoudemire was fitted with a walking support boot.
