The right eye of Amare Stoudemire was poked by an errant Boris Diaw finger during a scrimmage this week. Most considered it to be a minor malady. But Diaw's nail tore Stoudemire's iris, requiring up to two weeks without so much as a work-out, lest the eye bleeds due to a higher heart rate. The eye will heal, and he has lost no vision. But he will possibly be forced to wear goggles for the rest of his career.Bright Side of the Sun offers to pay for a manicure for Diaw, but I think what we should all be concerned with is the goggle issue. Amare is one stylish dude. As Horace Grant would testify, goggles are a massive game-killer. We need some serious fashion minds working on some rubber specs for STAT right away.
It doesn't appear Stoudemire will miss any regular season action, but he might not be available for next Saturday's first-ever outdoor NBA game at Indian Wells in the California desert.

I keep up with the Suns, since they are my favorite team, but last night during the intramural game, they only talked about it a little and said it was a temporary thing, but didn't know it was that serious.
On another note, they already said Amare will have it styling, something like high fashion Bo Outlaw.
