    For the first time since suffering lacerations to his left hand, New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire went through shooting drills, ran full court, dunked and even palmed the ball with his injured hand during Friday's practice.Afterward, interim coach Mike Woodson was optimistic about Stoudemire returning Sunday for Game 4 of the Heat-Knicks first-round playoff series."I think he's going to play. I'm not a hundred percent sure," said Woodson, who added that he'd know more about Stoudemire's status after talking with the Knicks' medical staff. "Just watching him run up and down and catch, my thought is he's going to probably play. I don't know."Stoudemire is cautiously optimistic, but he isn't as sure as his coach. He said his status remains "doubtful" for Sunday's game but he hopes that, after going through practice on Saturday and pregame workouts on Sunday, he'll be able to suit up for Game 4.
