New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudemire returned to practice on Monday following a seven-day absence due to the death of his brother.

Coach Mike D’Antoni said that Stoudemire will return to the Knicks lineup on Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors.

Stoudemire has missed the past four games. He was in Florida after his older brother, Hazell, died in car crash Feb. 6.

The Knicks (13-15) have won five straight on the strength of stellar point guard play from Jeremy Lin.
