Amare will not be back in time for the matchup versus the Spurs.
Last word from ESPN is that Amare has a 50/50 shot of returning and a local paper said Amare may return in early April. His date keeps getting changed to a later return date. Although for some reason he is still ahead in his rehab and reported return of February. Go figure.
If KT wasn't down, this matchup would be a very good preview of what could be expected in the WCF this season.
Though now I'm not sure Tim Thomas is the defensive player the Suns need to defend TD.
It'd be very interesting to have Amare return this season and force the Spurs into a TD/Rasho/Nazr vs Amare/Diaw matchup in the WCF. TD is obviously the best in the group from both teams, but it's that secondary matchup that will be the problem at hand.
