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.

Oh wow.... I kind of feel bad now.

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.

 

[Stoked]

Man I want to see Utah stomp all over Carmelo. Can the Jazz borrow Kevin Love for a play?

 

[NUMBERICA]

My thoughts go out to Amare. He's had a great career (and obviously made A LOT of money), but dude's had a rough life outside of that and that makes this especially awful.

 

[Brown Notes]

Jeremy Lin is also starting tonight for them.

He just torched Deron and the Nets, looks like this kid could be pretty good. Knicks fans are all going ape over him. Melo was doing asian bows after plays. Looks like a true point.

...of course he plays better without Amare.....he gets to take more shots!
