Blaha and Kelser has confirmed Stuckey broke his hand in the Pistons last preseason game against the Wiz.

Will Flip Jr. be CB`s backup now?

What? That blows.

Lindsey and Flip to the rescue.

Better now than later in the year I guess.

Not to split hairs, but it was broken by a Wiz on a slap down.

Left hand.

Mahorn thinks it may be a micro fracture.

In any case he will definitely not play in the opener.

Look like lots of minutes for Murray and probably more for AA.

That sucks. Hopefully he will heal fast and this won't hold up his development.

If it is severe, how long will be out and indeed how will this affect his growth? Can we rely on Hunter and Jr to carry the load for a few weeks or are sitting in last years boat??

It will be a lot longer than a few weeks unless it is a very small break.

I would rather have AA will get the minutes rather than Hunter. I would be more comfortable with Murray at at the point rather than Hunter.

This just sucks all the way around folks, DAMN!!! I'm glad it wasn't his shooting hand according to a helpful previous post... Just seems like injuries have been a real BIOTCH for us in this preseason... Once again we're relegated to hoping and praying kander can work his magic again, better yet I'm gonna put it in God's hands. I want stuckey to feel like a vet that not only belongs in this league but can hold his own with whoever by the time the playoffs start!!!

By the way for my money I'll take AA and Murray over Hunter for now all day... Worse part is we were really looking forward to chauncey getting more rest this season now by finally having a valid back up.

Dr. Mahorn to the operating room!

Nov 13 LW Milan Lucic had an active night. He scored his first goal in eight games since his Oct. 25 hat trick and also pounded Michael Komisarek in a third-period fight. Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."

I agree, hopefully AA becomes the 3/4 guard in the rotation. Before this injury i looked at AA's development as a project for next season, maybe we can move him up until Stuckey gets better. I'm sure the practice time he spent with C-Bill and Tay would make for an easier transition into being the primary backup behind Rip. Then Flip backs up C-Bill.

Definite set back both for Stucky and the Pistons. I hope its not going to be one of those years. Pistons have been luckier than most on injuries but so far we have had quit a few and the season has not even started yet.

Could open up the door for Afflalo. Hopefully he will get a chance.
