Amare Stoudemire will have a right knee debridement and is expected to miss six weeks.
An MRI revealed that he had a cyst burst and it will require surgery. STAT had a left knee debridgement earlier this year for a similar cyst problem, which was the same knee that had microfracture surgery in 2005, but this procedure will be to the other knee. STAT's regular season is essentially over with less than six weeks in the season and he can be dropped in almost all leagues. The Knicks will have to go with a smaller lineup again and Tyson Chandler may have to run more pick-and-rolls instead of crashing the boards. Carmelo Anthony will likely play more power forward once he's back in the lineup. Jason Kidd gets a little bit more of a boost with the Knicks having to resort to small ball while Steve Novak could also pick up some extra minutes.
