OT: Amare Done? [merged]
OT - Amare
I just heard on WFAN that D'Antoni is shutting him down for awhile because he didn't look too healthy last night and his knee is pretty stiff. They aren't saying if this is it for the season or if he'll come back later.

The way he looked they should. He was limping and it was reported he was in pain. Doesn't surprise me.

Might be out for the season. I hope he can come back to what he was cause he was such an exciting player to watch before he had the surgery.

Re: OT - Amare
He said he was ready. He shouldn't have played if he couldn't get loose. So is Kidd right in saying he just has to tough it out. Kidd was back about 2 weeks to a month earlier than him? Is Amare a wimp since Kidd said you have to tough it out?

Re: OT - Amare
This is some crappy news for the Suns. They are a pretty god team Amare-less but he is a damn fine player and I want to see him come back and play again at the level he did prior to the injury. I felt bad watching him lumbering up and down the court last night. I'm glad they made the right move and will let Amare come back when he feels right. Good luck Amare!

Re: OT - Amare
Thats a pretty sizeable contract STAT has. If he doesn't feel right then the Suns would be a fool to push him and risk a setback that could plausiby impact them for years to come. All the announcers last night were saying he should tough it out but nobody knows their body's better than the players themselves and Amare's no baby so if he's not confidant and ready he's probably not ready. He already made a pretty abrupt return because he was sick of waiting and answering the same old questions, it's better not to compound that mistake and to let him try again later like D'Antoni is doing.Kidd Karma said:He said he was ready.

Re: OT - Amare
Theres a difference between Amare and Kidd. Amare plays above the rim and is very explosive. Kidd changed his game to allow himself to run on his knee till it was completely restored. Amare is young and toughing it out might not be the smartest route. Vince admits he should have been smarter instead of trying to play through injuries. Best Amare come back with the least possibility of hurting himself again. He's a great player who I wanna see in the future.

Re: OT - Amare
i feel kind of sorry for the guy... to be out the whole season and have a setback like this..
i couldnt watch him last night.. he looked like jason collins on offense.. the same move everytime which was basically leaning into the defender then chucking up some shot..

OT: Amare Done?
LinkMSNBC - Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire could miss the rest of the season, Sports Illustrated reported on its Web site.
Re: OT: Amare Done?
That's unfortunate for him.
So far Jason Kidd is probably the best comeback player from this type of knee surgery.

Re: OT: Amare Done?
why did they bring him back so early if he wasn't ready?

Amare had no business even choosing to play right now. He has to realize that anything that will ruin his health and explosivness will screw the Suns over because of his massive contract. The Suns were rolling along pretty well without him, and they didnt really need him yet... Theyre going to the post season, theres no need to rush anything with Amare, because the longer he sits out, the better he'll heal, and the tougher he will be in the playoffs.
Amare had athroscopic surgery on his right knee and he's not expected back this season.
Hindsight is 20/20. I don't think the Suns really pushed him. His comeback took longer than Kidd's. The thought was that being younger, he would heal faster than Kidd. He experienced some discomfort about a week before he played his first game. Just before he played his first game, he put together 4-5 no pain days and declared himself ready. He played Portland, then played Sunday, but couldn't loosen up his knee for that game, nor the game the next day with Jersey. He shouldn't have played Sunday if he couldn't loosen up the knee. Don't know if he overcompensated on the right knee since the microfracture took place on the left knee. Well there's talk or media garble that he may return to court for team usa in the summer....as a testing ground for his knee....then again Karma can be a bad thing. I thought it was fishy that he signed his extension, then undergoes the operation a few days later. Sarver the owner had no idea of the knee problems until the operation. Would he have given Amare the extension knowing the knee had problems? Of course he'll say yea, now because it's done and he doesn't want to alienate his star, but it looks awfully fishy.vcfor3 said:Amare had no business even choosing to play right now.

If I remember correctly, I think he is undergoing surgery on his right knee for removal of the Baker's cyst. Usually, this cyst is treated medically first, through injections of steroid in the joint involved, usually the knee. This is accompanied by intake of anti-inflammatory medications. However, if there are accompanying problems causing this cyst (usually cartilage tears or other intra-knee problems) then arthroscopic surgery is performed.
The body responds to injury and healing/surgery in a variety of ways. 2 people who have the same injury may undergo exactly the same procedure but their bodily response will be characteristically different. The result is usually idiosyncratic, meaning peculiar to the individual.
I hope Amare doesn't rush things this time. Considering this is his 2nd surgery, he has to be very careful with his recovery and rehabilitation. The more surgery the knees undergo, the poorer the outlook considering that the knees are weight-bearing joints in general. Although it is on a case to case basis, generally however, repeated surgery on the knee may have a poorer prognosis than repeated surgery on the elbow since the knees bear the brunt of the body's weight as compared to the elbow which doesn't. Of course, there are still factors to consider, like whether it is a weight bearing or non-weight bearing part of the joint.
I hope he will be guided well in his recovery. He is an extremely talented and athletic individual and rushing things would only cause further problems in the end.

Just asking, but Justasking?, would you happen to be a doctor sir?
Also, did he have the micro surgery on his left or right leg? I know that the opposite leg he had the micro surgery on was building up with fluid so maybe he didn't have another surgery on the same leg. I'm not sure.
