A week after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, Amar? Stoudemire was jogging on a weightless treadmill Monday ? holding up 50 percent of his body weight ? and it appears he won?t be out any longer than the initially projected two- or three-week time span.

With the limited post-surgery swelling now mostly gone, and his range of motion returning, this rate of progress would allow Stoudemire to be back on the floor in two weeks and likely be able to take part in the final week of preseason games.

?We?re right on track and I?m feeling good,? Stoudemire said. ?If we stay on this schedule, I should be back for a couple of preseason games. I need that and I?d like to get a couple games under my belt, but if we have to wait until we?re playing for real we won?t take any chances.?
