Such a scary scene. Rodney Stuckey on the floor in front of the Pistons bench during a third quarter timeout. Then the stretcher coming out to to rush an unconscious Rodney to the back the arena to an awaiting ambulance. Just one day after the sporting world remembered the 20 year anniversary of Hank Gathers who collapsed and died on the college basketball hardwood.
It’s reported Rodney had a seizure, some reports terming it a ‘violent seizure’.

I hope it’s awhile before I see Stuckey on a basketball court again. He needs to get right. Run every test there is to run. It’s not every day you see and athlete carted away unconscious wearing an oxygen mask. Don’t take any chances. First place, last place, it doesn’t matter. That man’s health trumps all basketball storylines. Stuckey is a father before he’s anything else.
At last report from a Cleveland clinic near the Quicken Loans Arena Rodney was conscious, breathing on his own, and his vitals were normal. He will stay overnight for observation.

In November of 2008 Rodney Stuckey went down to his knees at center court at halftime of a game against the Celtics due to dizziness that was said to have been brought on by allergy medication.
