PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns will have to attempt a run at the NBA title without big man Amare Stoudemire.

 

The Suns announced Wednesday that Stoudemire has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and will not return this season.

 

 

 

 

The 2005 All-Star underwent a procedure at Banner Samaritan Outpatient Surgical Center on Wednesday to remove debris caused by wear and tear on his kneecap. The resulting inflammation had led to the development of a cyst and pressure behind the joint.

 

 

 

 

The 23-year-old will be on crutches for seven to 10 days and will need six to eight weeks before he can resume court activities.

 

 

 

 

It is the second time in six months that Stoudemire has undergone knee surgery. In October, he had microfracture surgery performed on his left knee, and he missed the first 4? months of the season before returning for three games from March 23-27.

 

 

 

 

However, soreness in the right knee prompted Phoenix to shut down its young star.

 

 

 

 

Stoudemire's manager, Rodney Rice, told the Arizona Republic that he believes the forward-center will be ready for workouts with the United States national team that begin July 19.
