Amar'e Stoudemire is dealing with some bumps and bruises and his minutes will be monitored over the short term.

The team is expected to make the playoffs for the first time since 2004 and Mike D'Antoni wants to make sure his best player is ready for the postseason.

Stoudemire could come out for the final two minutes of each first quarter and/or sit out practices after games.

D'Antoni also has the option of holding Stoudemire out of certain games, which is something San Antonio's Gregg Popovich did last season with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.

"If you can play all 82 then great," Stoudemire said. "Some games you get banged up and may have to sit out one or two. But for a competitive player, you want to play every game. If you can make that happen, great."

Stoudemire has recently had his right knee bandaged and his left leg taped from ankle to thigh.
