So this is why Phoenix were pushing to trade him.. I wonder if he would have passed his physical if there was a trade. Imagine we traded Bosh for Amare

.

Do they test visual acuity & eye function? Was this an injury caused by physical trauma or was it a chronic eye condition?

He got poked in the eye during trainning camp and he was still wearing it for a week until he decided to take it off like all the players (cept for rip, yes diff injury but still, no one likes wearing anything maybe a headband) and then got poked in the eye again during the rout against clippers.

This isn't exactly career threatening and we probably won't make the playoffs anyway, so had a trade goen down it wouldn't really have mattered.

I think he got poked in the eye last night.....after the deadline, so I don't think it had anything to do with them trying to move Amare.

EDIT - apparrently it was Wednesday night. But still, there have been Amare rumours for some time and a lot of what the Suns do is about $$$.
