Amare suffers torn iris

From ESPN.

Of particular note: "Stoudemire, who will miss the team's public scrimmage on Friday, will likely wear goggles when he returns to the court -- possibly Sunday -- and might wear them for the rest of his career."

Now, the article says it wasn't anything too serious and that it wasn't as bad as if it had been the retina or cornea, but if it's so minor, why is the next 10-12 years an issue?

I'm hoping that somehow Amare will channel some kind of bizarre Bo Outlaw psychotic defensive energy because of the goggles, if nothing else. Or maybe a Kurt Rambis vibe.

ed note: Let's not forget that it was the new tougher Boris Diaw that inflicted this injury. I am glad to see Boris get more aggressive. I hope he would do so with out a) injuring our star player and b) resorting to scratching and clawing to make a point
