Is Amare out for tonight's game for sure?

[MVP]

Can somebody confirm? That would be very helpful.

We're going to eat the Knickers alive.

Multiple sources have confirmed that he won't play. It would be ridiculous if he did.

His brother died in a car crash last night in Florida. I would imagine Amare has to go down there and take care of business..

He hurt his ankle in the Nets game so he might not have played anyway.

crap, ankle would be one thing but dead brother? Those things unite teams, Knicks may be extra motivated to win this one for Amare. Suddenly I do not feel good about this game.

Amar'e Stoudemire will miss Monday’s night game against the Utah Jazz.

Fell terrible for Amare. Hope all is well for him.

Oklahoma State Football disagrees with this.

Same here. I don't like to see this sort of thing happen to anyone.

Very bad deal. As for the game, Carmelo probably plays better with Amare out.
