Karl to miss Wednesday's game

Players with nuggets jersey would not see their coach George Karl Wednesday’s game at Minnesota as he undergoes another round of cancer treatment.

Karl, who has neck and throat cancer, was scheduled for a surgical procedure Monday to have a feeding tube inserted into his stomach. He will also go through another chemotherapy session Tuesday. Karl was diagnosed last month with cancer and is undergoing a rigorous six-week treatment program of radiation and chemotherapy.

He hopes to be back on the sideline Friday when the Nuggets travel to New Orleans.

Suns defeated Nuggets

Amare Stoudemire is trying his best get away from all the swirling trade rumors and speculation.

Stoudemire got 20 points and 17 rebounds, leading the Phoenix Suns to a 109-97 victory Wednesday night over a Denver squad missing Carmelo Anthony. “It’s definitely great to be on the road and get away from all the trade talk for a while,” said Stoudemire, averaging 27 points and 13.3 rebounds over his last three road games. But the rumor about his trading was poped up one after another. “I told him he’s got to try to put it behind him and move on because whatever happens is going to happen,” Gentry said. “It always happens this time of year, there’s someone that’s always the talk—it just happens to be him this year.”

As all the players with nba jerseys, winning is the big thing.
