Stuckey Listed as Day-to-Day

When the Pistons boarded their flight to Sacramento on Monday morning, they were another point guard short of a full team. One week after the Pistons traded Chauncey Billups in the deal for Allen Iverson, Rodney Stuckey stayed home for further medical observation after a bout with dizziness during Sunday’s loss to Boston.

Stuckey, the team’s No. 1 pick in the 2007 NBA draft, went to his knees as the first half of Sunday’s game ended, then rose slowly but stayed hunched over as Pistons strength coach Arnie Kander talked to him for a few minutes. Stuckey walked toward the locker room under his own power but didn’t return for the second half.

After the game, Pistons coach Michael Curry said Stuckey seemed OK. When asked if he expected him to make the trip with the team on Monday morning, Curry said, “Yeah, I sure hope so. He felt a little lightheaded, so they held him out. I saw him at halftime. Our doctors saw him.”

Stuckey is listed as day to day and has not yet been ruled out for Tuesday night’s game against Sacramento. If he’s cleared by doctors today, he could rejoin the team in time for tipoff. The four-game road trip continues on Thursday night in Golden State and Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers before concluding on Sunday night at Phoenix.

In six games, Stuckey is averaging 9.2 points and 3.3 assists while shooting 40 percent in 21 minutes a game.
