Stoudemire (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Magic, Steve Popper of The Record reports.

Analysis:

Stoudemire had been viewed as questionable for the game after failing to practice a day earlier, but coach Derek Fisher indicated that with the exception of Carmelo Anthony (who is listed as doubtful to play), the Knicks would be at full strength Wednesday. The upcoming All-Star break will give Stoudemire eight days to recover from any residual ankle pain he experiences Wednesday, but look for him to be capped between 20 and 25 minutes against the Magic. To his credit, Stoudemire has been efficient in his limited action the last two games, scoring 13 points against the Warriors and dropping 14 on the Heat.
