Stoudemire (rest) will travel with the Heat on their two-game road trip, which kicks off Wednesday in Charlotte, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Stoudemire hasn't played since Nov. 19 after coming down with an illness, but it appears he's since recovered from that setback. However, as has been the case all season, the Heat continue to rest him heavily with an eye on avoiding aggravating the sore knees that have plagued him throughout his career. The fact that Stoudemire is traveling suggests that he could be available to play in either of the two games, but don't expect him to see much more than five to 15 minutes off the bench.
