Something about the London air appears to be working wonders for the New York Knicks' walking wounded.
On top of the return of Carmelo Anthony, Knicks' power forward Amar'e Stoudemire will play Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks in London.
Stoudemire has missed the team's last nine games, and 11 of the last 12, with a sore right knee, as both the rest of his season and his future as a Knick look increasingly cloudy,
In 28 games, Stoudemire has averaged 13.1 points and a team-leading 7.4 rebounds in 26.4 minutes.
