ESPN reporting Amare to return Game 3...

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- New York Knicks coach Mike Woodson has targeted Game 3 of the Knicks-Pacers series as the date for Amar'e Stoudemire's return.

Stoudemire has been sidelined since early March 7 with a right knee injury. He underwent a procedure to clean out debris in the knee on March 11.

He has been ruled out of the first two games of the Knicks-Pacers series but may play in Game 3 on Saturday.

Woodson said Stoudemire will scrimmage with his teammates on Thursday. If his knee responds well, he will scrimmage again on Friday.

"If he feels fine after Friday then I think we will play him Saturday," Woodson said.

Some have expressed concern over how Stoudemire would fit into the Knicks' lineup. New York finished the regular season 17-6 with Stoudemire out and won its first-round series against Boston with the big man on the bench.

But Woodson said the 6-foot-11 Stoudemire could help the Knicks on the interior against a Pacers team that holds a size advantage over New York.

"If he's right he can help us a lot. There's no doubt," Woodson said.

Stoudemire did not speak to reporters at Saturday's practice.

Meanwhile, star Carmelo Anthony is dealing with pain in his left shoulder but will play in Game 1.

Sharpshooter Steve Novak will sit with back spasms. Novak also missed the Knicks' Game 6 win over Boston on Friday.

The Knicks will open their series against Indiana on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

You dont think he can help at least a little?
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

If he comes back. I think we will start with Chandler and Martin, I am just scared that the second unit will have Amare and Novak/copeland together.
