Suns star Amare Stoudemire is recovering from a detached retina in his right eye.

"It's happening slowly but it's headed in the right direction," Dr. Pravin Dugel said of the resorbing and regenerating of Stoudemire's retina. "The process is not just to let the retina be flat but the idea is to make it flat and resume his career. That bar is extremely high."

Dugel sees Stoudemire every two weeks and has cautioned about the severity of the injury.

"It's important for people to understand the severity of this when you have a retinal detachment that happens in a young person and one that happens this severely, it's about as serious of a condition as I can think of," Dugel said.

Phoenix general manager Steve Kerr expects Stoudemire to be ready for training camp in October.
