Suns forward Amare Stoudemire's sore right toe and left ankle are healing but he won't rush back just to play in the Rookie Challenge during All-Star Weekend.

"I wouldn't just come back for that game," Stoudemire said. "I'd make sure I'm ready and get a couple of games under my belt before I would play in the All-Stars. I'd have fun playing, but my health is a lot more important than that game."
