Injured Sun Amare Stoudemire was able to practice five-on-five for the second straight day ? the first time he?s done that in his rehabilitation from microfracture surgery on his left knee ? and said ?it felt pretty good,? the East Valley Tribune is reporting.

Stoudemire revealed that the fear of swelling in his right knee, which he has been favoring, still remains. Fluid buildup has caused discomfort and Stoudemire has been wary of pushing too hard.

?It?s always 50-50,? he said. ?You never know what can happen the next day. It?s still up for grabs.?

?There?s been spurts where I felt real good and felt like I?m close to being back. Then there?s been certain moves where I make a sharp move and then I feel some pain. I just want to keep working, trying to get over that hump."
