Amare Stoudemire cuts hand following Game 2 loss

EXCERPT:

MIAMI — Amare Stoudemire draped a towel over his left hand as he walked into the privacy of the New York Knicks’ training room an hour after the game, needing a sanctuary from prying eyes.

The specifics of what Stoudemire did immediately after Game 2 were unclear. Only this was certain: His hand was cut so severely that doctors and paramedics were summoned, drops of blood stained the carpet, a piece of glass in the door to a fire-extinguisher case needed to be replaced, and a bad night for the Knicks on the court got much worse when Stoudemire walked off it.

Stoudemire’s availability — and New York’s hopes — for the rest of this Eastern Conference first-round series against the Miami Heat look bleak at best, first because the Knicks were beaten 104-94 on Monday night to fall into a 2-0 hole in the best-of-seven matchup, then because of whatever emotions boiled over near the locker room afterward.

“I am so mad at myself right now, I want to apologize to the fans and my team, not proud of my actions, headed home for a new start,” Stoudemire wrote on Twitter about two hours after the game.

While smashing the glass was dumb, as a Knick fan, part of me is glad that Stoudemire cares enough to be that angry after a loss.

Real tough guy. Fire extinguishers don’t hit back.

Stoudemire isn't the first athlete to suffer a hand injury by hitting some object in frustration and anger, and he won't be the last.

Happened in the ‘85 World Series. John Tudor was frustrated and punched a ceiling fan. He eliminated himself from the Series.

It would have been more interesting if he had a made up name like Amar'e Fire Safety instead of Stoudemire to mirror Metta World Peace thugging it up on the court.
