Amare Stoudemire is back on the floor, competing in live action.

Stoudemire, who underwent surgery on his right foot in June, took part in three-on-three, halfcourt scrimmaging Tuesday at the start of the Suns' informal "open gym" workouts.

He said he should be ready to go in fullcourt, five-on-five action in a matter of days.

"I'm a little out of shape," he said on Tuesday. "I got a little winded. No, a lot winded,"

Stoudemire had a bunion removed from his big toe and had a dislocated second toe repaired as well.

Overall, "I feel good," Stoudemire said after his Tuesday workout. "My toe feels great."

Still, he acknowledged that sometimes he feels "a little pain" after he works out. "I probably won't be 100 percent for another month."

Suns president Bryan Colangelo said Stoudemire "isn't in basketball condition," but otherwise looked good in his Tuesday workout.
