Stoudemire (knee) has appeared in just one of the Heat's seven games this season.

Analysis:

Stoudemire was active for Sunday's win over the Raptors, but again remained on the bench, as coach Erik Spoelstra opted to use Josh McRoberts and Udonis Haslem ahead of him. Though Stoudemire's ongoing bouts with knee soreness have regularly prevented the Heat from playing him, the 32-year-old is probably capable of taking the court if needed. However, the 13-year veteran is a shell of himself at this point in his career, and simply doesn't offer much even in a limited bench role.
