Stoudemire under the knife
It's official.
Amare Stoudemire will undergo exploratory arthrosopic surgery on his knee tomorrow, Tuesday, October 11, after getting medical opinions from three different specialists.
What seems clear is that the Suns wanted one of these doctors to tell them that surgery was not necessary--they were disappointed. Here's the kicker: if nothing is detected, Amare will be out three to four weeks. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!
The real problem is that something probably will be detected. The Suns and the doctors believe something is wrong; otherwise they would not be doing the surgery.
No word on what the recovery time will be if something is wrong, and further surgery is required, but it could be nearly half the season. Owners should feel very uncomfortable taking Amare in the first round.
You know what the worst part is? I have a draft tomorrow.

I passed on Amare in the first round because of this. Thankfully Duncan fell all the way to 10 so I don't feel too bad about the whole thing. The person who got him in the second however will have a pretty rockin team when he gets back.

I am glad you avoided Amare. You're right; whoever got him in the second might have a pretty rockin team when he gets back... but it won't be until the season's almost over! This was definitely the worst case scenario. Luckily, you were using your head. Check out my preseason sleepers, to be posted in the next couple of hours.
