MEMPHIS — Rasheed Wallace did not attend the Pistons’ shoot-around at FedEx Forum Tuesday morning.

Coach Flip Saunders said Wallace stayed at the hotel with flu-like symptoms. His playing status will be determined at game time, but Saunders said that because he missed shoot-around, he most likely would not start.

Either Nazr Mohammed or Jason Maxiell would start in his place.

Another starter with “flu-like” symptoms? That means blowing chunks, right? Don’t NBA players get flu shots? If not, I don’t blame them, I never get them either.

Stay clear of Sheed, we don’t want a complete and total barf-o-rama on our hands!
