November 13, 2008 The Detroit Free Press has confirmed that Rodney Stuckey will play on Friday against the Lakers. However, he is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Warriors.
Our View:He is recovering from a sudden dizzy spell that he described as scary. Going forward, he could see more minutes as the team's starting lineup lacks a true point guard following the trade of Chauncey Billups.
November 12, 2008 The Detroit Free Press reports that guard Rodney Stuckey will miss Thursday night's game against the Golden State Warriors despite being cleared to play on Tuesday. Stuckey left Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, complaining of dizziness.
Our View:It seems odd for a player to miss so much time due to dizziness. We expect the guard to get back into the rotation soon and he could see more minutes as the team's starting lineup lacks a true point guard ever since Chauncey Billups was traded.
November 12, 2008 Rodney Stuckey has been cleared to play and is expected to join the Pistons in San Francisco today, according to the Detroit News. Coach Michael Curry said, "He'll be on a flight Wednesday morning. I don't know if he'll be here in time for practice, but if he's ready to play, he will play Thursday against the Warriors."
Our View:Stuckey left Sunday's game feeling dizzy and light-headed, and made motions with his hands as if he was having heart palpitations, but the club will not disclose whether the problem is heart-related. He has not been productive enough to employ in fantasy lineups as he is only averaging 9.2 points and 3.3 assists per game.
