Via Detroit Free Press:
AUBURN HILLS — Detroit rookie Rodney Stuckey broke his left hand in the third quarter of the Pistons’ 104-85 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
That’s a big time bummer. I guess we’ll find out just how bad it is tomorrow. The Pistons seem to be getting snake bitten with injuries, and all ON THE LEFT SIDE for some crazy reason. If I’m not mistaken it was Rip and Amir’s left ankles, Nazr’s left calf, and now Rodney’s left hand.
UPDATE via Detroit News:
Stuckey’s hand got tangled in one of the Wizards’ jerseys. The play looked innocent, but Stuckey’s immediate reaction indicated something was wrong.The course of treatment and recovery time is unknown. He will be reevaluated today.
“I don’t know what happened, my fingers just went the other way,” Stuckey said, with his left (non-shooting) hand wrapped in a cast. “I was in so much pain, I just knew. This is my first break, ever. It’s always disappointing when you break something or when you have to sit out. But I’ll bounce back, it’s not going to be that long. It’s only going to make me better.”
I’ve got three words for Pistons’ fans: Ronald “Flip” Murray

Hope its nothing serious! I was really looking forward to seeing Rodney become part of regular rotation!

This is horrible news for the Pistons and very unfortunate. I hope Flip Murray really steps up and is able to hit jumpers consistently.

Like I’ve said in the past, Flip is a very good players if he gets the minutes, and can look very bad if he doesn’t. So, how good Murray can be backing up Billups might depend on how Saunders’ diveys up the minutes between the two.
