Stoudemire to miss remainder of regular season with eye injury
A couple of weeks ago Amare Stoudemire was the biggest name on the trade market and ended up going nowhere. Now the Suns have essentially traded him for nothing in return.
Doctors have said that Stoudemire is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after suffering a detached retina in a game earlier in the week against the Los Angeles Clippers.
"I was having problems with blurriness from sweat and getting a good fit," Stoudemire said at the time. "Enough was enough."
Yesterday, Stoudemire had surgery to repair the retina, and he is expected to have a 100 percent recovery, but at what cost? The Suns are currently in the 9th seed in the Western Conference and they are now losing their best player who scores on average 25 points per game.
The Western Conference has nine playoff caliber teams and only eight chairs at the table. Who will be on the outside looking in? If the Suns are not able to rally and have certain players step up to fill the void the Suns will be having a long off-season, something that is not acceptable in Phoenix.
