Amar'e Stoudemire played in 47 games during the regular season for the Knicks and averaged 17.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1 block and 0.8 steals a game.
Impact:
Stoudemire battled injuries at the end of the regular season and then had to deal with his self-inflicted hand injury in the playoffs. He clearly has yet to mesh with Carmelo Anthony offensively and his production is taking a hit as a result. Hopefully they can learn to play with each other during a full offseason, but Stoudemire is likely to see decreased numbers again next season with Anthony being the primary offensive option.
Despite playing in Game 4, Amar'e Stoudemire is still limited because of the stitches in his injured left hand, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact:
