Amare Stoudemire said he could miss at least half of the Suns' preseason games as he tries to get into shape after an eye injury, the Arizona Republic is reporting.

"It's definitely a little frustrating," said Stoudemire. "I worked so hard this off-season. I was training four times a day at one point. I was in great shape. Having to sit now with the eye injury takes me back to Square 1. It's just a matter of time. I'll get back up to great shape. It's going to be hard work. It's going to hurt a little bit, but it's worth it."

Stoudemire has said he probably will wear goggles the rest of his career, but he was getting used to the sweat pooling on his forehead, the feel of a frame, and foggy lenses Tuesday.
