Stoudemire (knee) was able to practice Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Stoudemire seems to be making progress from the knee soreness that has bothered him since the start of training camp, but with just one appearance in the Heat's nine games to date, it's hard to count on him being available for Tuesday's tilt with the Timberwolves. Even if he's cleared to dress, Stoudemire doesn't figure to see much more than 10-to-15 minutes off the bench.
