Rodney Stuckey Breaks Hand: Out 6 Weeks

Looks like our rookie phenom is going to be our 3-6 weeks apparently. Closer to six weeks it appears after having surgery earlier today.

The rookie from Eastern Washington injured his hand in Detroit's final pre-season game Wednesday night. He averaged 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals in eight games.

Stuckey was expected to start the season next week at Miami playing a key role, primarily backing up point guard Chauncey Billups.

This SUCKS. Looks like we are going to get a healthy dose of Flip Murrayand Lindsey in the early going this year.

"This is where having Lindsey Hunter comes into play," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said.

Bah...screw HUNTAH. Guy is worthless now.

"Obviously, I'm disappointed," he said. "I've never broken anything before, and now I'm going to have to sit out."
