Amare Stoudemire had an excellent practice on Sunday, his best since the team left the States, to cap a week in which he didn't practice on Thursday and sat out the Suns' game on Friday.

?We?ve got a lot of wild swings going on with Amar? right now, but Sunday was a positive,? D?Antoni said. ?He said he felt good and he looked like he was moving better. Now we?re looking for some consistency in practice, for him to string together good days and build on the positives.?

D?Antoni said if Stoudemire has similar results in practice on Monday, he will play in Tuesday?s game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
