Knicks to limit Stoudemire

In order to ensure longevity for the remainder of the season and beyond, Knicks coach Mike Woodson and the GM have decided to limit forward Amar'e Stoudemire's minutes until seasons' end. Going for the Knicks will not play Stoudemire for more than 30 minutes per game to avoid further stress to Stoudemire's surgically repaired left knee. Stoudemire currently has 2 years left of his contract valued at $45 Million.
“Thirty minutes is his max and whatever damage he does in those 30 minutes, he’ll be out there doing it,’’ Woodson said. “I can’t go over 30 for his sake as far as physical condition is concerned...He doesn’t need much more than that,’’ Woodson said. “STAT’s been in this league a number of years and he can get a lot done in 30 minutes. I think if he keeps his mind and body physically ready for it, 30 minutes is enough minutes for him to do damage. However, I’m trying not to burn him early and then run out of minutes.’’
