According to Dead Spin (via NBA.com), NBA star Amar’e Stoudemire had eye surgery this morning to repair a detached retina.
That type of serious eye injury usually means the end of a professional athlete’s career. Especially when you consider that this is Amar’e’s 2nd eye injury this season.
But, fortunately, Amar’e is a basketball player, not a boxer. There are custom face shields and goggles that can be utilized to protect his eyes during a game.
Amar’e recently signed a deal with rapper T.I.’s Grand Hustle Records to distribute his Hypocalypto Record label.
