Amaré Stoudemire will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this morning and likely will not attempt another comeback this season, the Suns star's manager said.
Stoudemire decided to have an exploratory scope to address a Baker's cyst behind his right knee and determine what is causing the fluid to collect, said Stoudemire's manager, Rodney Rice. The right knee has troubled Stoudemire for five weeks, just as his surgically repaired left knee was improving for a three-game return.
"As of right now, I'd say he's not going to play again this season," Rice said. "I feel that's the best thing for him."

Suns team physician Thomas Carter, who will perform the surgery, has said there is no right knee defect like what was diagnosed before an October scope on Stoudemire's left knee. That lesion was larger than expected, prompting a microfracture procedure.
Possible causes for a Baker's cyst include general wear, torn meniscus or ligament damage. Rice said the doctors believe Stoudemire has nothing more than "wear and tear" with some debris to remove in the joint.
"Just to be sure and definite about that, Amaré wants to go in and make sure," Rice said.
Draining the cyst was an option, but the fluid could return. He is facing four to six weeks of down time. Stoudemire could participate in USA Basketball's July 19-25 camp in Las Vegas.
"Whether it happens a month or four months from now, nobody can say," Rice said of a possible return. "I'd like to think by the time USA Basketball goes to camp, Amaré will be 100 percent."

I say no! Amare needs to sit out until next NBA season. USA Basketball isn't worth an NBA career."Whether it happens a month or four months from now, nobody can say," Rice said of a possible return. "I'd like to think by the time USA Basketball goes to camp, Amaré will be 100 percent."
Yeah, USA basketball...might want to sit that one out Amare.
Baker's cyst's aren't a big deal: just a fluid collection otherwise structurally the knee if fine
its happening, two bums knees....... its ova
regardless of what it is, u can keep having thing removed and drained and expect to be the same as b4
i dont want it to be, but he wont score 37 points combined in a 5 game series against duncan, let alone 37 per. this is so gay

Yeah, well it happens. He had a bad knee injury at a suprising, very young age. Now athroscopic surgery is a minor surgery...but it shows the effects of him favoring his other side with the injury, which also shows that mentally he wasn't prepared to come back. I can tell this will be the downward spiral of Amare's career. Which is ashame, as he will be mentioned in the same catergory as the Penny Hardaways, Grant Hills etc. So now poster, Amareca will have to change his username.
That may be true but in my opinion I really don't care if he has a paper cut on his knee......he needs to sit out this summer just to make sure both knees are fine. There is no need to rush back now, he isn't playing for the Suns this season nor in the playoffs and USA basketball can wait, besides he doesn't need any type of training camp, because everyone knows he will be on the team come 2008.Pioneer10 said:Baker's cyst's aren't a big deal: just a fluid collection otherwise structurally the knee if fine
It's his OTHER knee. I hope he gets better.
Where the hell is Amareca? I haven't seen that kid in awhile, I guess he is too depressed to even log on a computer.
why the doctor haven't found the problem earlier? Amare should have the surgery on both knees at the same time to save time.
If you were actually meaning to fill in Baker's name there, you're a genius. Smart men think alike. If it was on accident, you're still a genius. Am I the only one that caught on?Pioneer10 said:Baker's cyst's aren't a big deal: just a fluid collection otherwise structurally the knee if fine
Baker had anthroscopic surgery on his right knee in 2001 too for anyone that doesn't know.

I might be wrong but I believe he go it from here.
In my opinion the way the Suns have handled this situation (both knees) has been poor at best.decided to have an exploratory scope to address a Baker's cyst behind his right knee and determine what is causing the fluid to collect, said Stoudemire's manager, Rodney Rice

Too bad Ralaw, and for a second there I thought we had a genius on these boards who had such an accute memory. Pioneer10, I guess you're just a master English linguistic.
Amare will be fine if he takes it easy, and realizes he's not some sort of superhuman who can bounce back from injuries. He needs to be patient.
umm...they very rarly do this for anybody...even if they "knew" about the other knee he would have still had 2 seperate surgeries...eaglewu said:why the doctor haven't found the problem earlier? Amare should have the surgery on both knees at the same time to save time.
Now its definitely wait til next season, no summer games too. If he wants to have a long career, might as well come back when everything is healed.
This only happened because he would put stress on the right knee not trying to put too much on the other knee in practices and the 3 games. It's not something they could've done earlier nor would he have had 2 surgeries to begin with. Hasn't been there for a long time or anything.
If he doesn't come back the same, it's not cuz of this surgery.

As a Suns fan, I don't feel too comfortable with the surgeries. Amare is still so young. Suns' been through with Penny and Jason Kidd.
