Amare Stoudemire played five-on-five full-court basketball on Thursday for the first time since he underwent surgery on his right foot in June.

The reigning NBA rookie of the year has been taking part in the Suns' informal workouts for the past 10 days but hadn't played full-court until Thursday.

"I thought he looked pretty good for his first time running," Suns coach Frank Johnson said. "I know he was anxious to get out there."

The informal workouts will continue until training camp starts in the final week of September.
