GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Amar'e Stoudemire practiced for the first time this season Tuesday and he did so with the Knicks' D-League team, the Erie Bayhawks.

Stoudemire will practice again Thursday with the Knicks and the team will go forward from there with a decision on his next step. There is no firm date for his return to game action.

"I felt good," said Stoudemire, who underwent a knee debridement procedure in October that has kept him out as the Knicks started the season 18-6.
