For Stoudemire, a six-time All-Star who has logged more than 25,000 minutes through multiple knee surgeries over a 14-year career, the process requires waging an increasingly strenuous battle with Father Time. Right now, he’s landing some momentum-altering haymakers.

In his last seven games as a starter, Stoudemire is averaging 9.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and a steal while shooting 53.8 percent from the field and 90 percent from the foul line in 21.7 minutes.

In Wednesday’s 93-90 win in Dallas, Stoudemire’s four blocked shots were his most in a game since December of 2014. Before that, his contributions of 14 points and 10 rebounds on Tuesday in Houston and 13 points and 12 rebounds Sunday against Atlanta marked the first time he’s posted consecutive double-doubles since the prime of his New York Knicks tenure in 2012.
