New York Knicks power forward Amar’e Stoudemire is out for tonight’s game at Sacramento with a sprained left ankle, according to a person familiar with the situation.
The Knicks have not made it official but Stoudemire is expected to miss his season’s first game when the Knicks finish their West Coast road trip in Sacramento tonight.
With Jared Jeffries sidelined with a calf injury, second-round rookie out of Kentucky, Josh Harrellson, will start at power foward for New York.
Amar’e is averaging 17.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals through three games this season.
