Amar’e Stoudemire: “No chance I’m staying home for 2 months”

Maccabi Tel Aviv big man Amar’e Stoudemire says he doesn’t want to quarantine as the Winner League season resumes.

“Just got the word that the Winner League is asking players to stay home for two months, while everyone else (staff, and entire country) can enjoy the beautiful summer of Israel,” Stoudemire wrote on an Instagram story. “I’m a single parent and I have to take care of my son (food, school, afterschool activities), there’s no chance I’m staying home for two months. I was here in Israel for the entire quarantine (COVID-19), I followed every rule. Now we players are getting punished for that. Sorry. I can’t do it.”
