Amar'e Stoudemire Hopes To Make NBA Return

It's been a long time since Amar'e Stoudemire suited up for an NBA game, but the former All-Star is hoping to make a comeback.

Stoudemire and fellow ex-NBAer Monta Ellis are holding a private workout on Monday in Las Vegas, with at least five NBA teams planning to attend.

The 36-year-old Stoudemire last played in the 2015-16 season for the Miami Heat, averaging 5.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Ellis last played for the Pacers in 2017.
