Stoudemire Goes Full Court
Suns forward Amaré Stoudemire was given the green light to go full court for the first time since undergoing offseason toe surgery.
------------------------
Sept. 11, 2003: Taking yet another big “step” following toe surgery, Amare Stoudemire participated in five-on-five workouts today for the first time this offseason. Last year’s Rookie of the Year reported no pain after working four-on-four half court for 30 minutes, followed by the five-on-five full court for another 30. “I’m in better shape than I thought,” he said. “I was ready to play more.”
Stoudemire admitted he’d probably feel some tenderness once he cooled down, but nonetheless the workout was encouraging to both he and his teammates.
“The kid’s really good,” center Jake Voskuhl said. “His ‘rust’ is better than a lot of people’s ‘good.’ It’s good to see him back out there.”
