Amar'e Stoudemire is a step closer to rejoining his teammates on the court.
But during the team's morning shootaround, Woodson cautioned that he won't feel comfortable until the doctors deem Stoudemire ready to play.
"He seemed to feel pretty good today so we'll take it another step [Saturday] and see where he is," Woodson said. " . . . But again, it's still day-to- day as far as I'm concerned.''
Asked about Dwyane Wade's recent comment that athletes should be compensated for playing in the Olympics, Carmelo Anthony said he'll gladly play for free. "And it's London," he said with a smile. "Who don't want to go to London?"
Unlike former coach Mike D'Antoni, Woodson is a firm believer in game-day shootarounds. "I've always had shootarounds,'' he said. " . . . In my early days in Atlanta, my rookies hated me because they didn't get any days off. None."
