    Stoudemire has torn iris, may don goggles upon return

    Phoenix Suns forward Amare Stoudemire missed practice Thursday with a partially torn iris after being poked in the eye during practice Wednesday.

    Suns center Boris Diaw inadvertently poked Stoudemire in the right eye during practice, and Stoudemire awoke Thursday with swelling and blurred vision.

    An examination showed there was no damage to the retina or the cornea, according to the East Valley Tribune.

    "He actually had some damage to his iris, which is not serious, fortunately," team GM Steve Kerr said, according to the Arizona Republic.

    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.

    "It's going to be important that he gets back and try to get up his conditioning," Suns coach Terry Porter said, according to the Republic. "As soon as you take a couple steps forward, you've got to take a couple steps backward for him, unfortunately."

    This story is impossible. Diaw doesn't play defense. I bet it happened in the post-practice shower. Lots of eyes get poked there by accident.
