During the Detroit Pistons’ game against the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, Rodney Stuckey collapsed in the bench area in what was reported as a type of seizure. Our thoughts and prayers are with Stuckey and his family, in what must be a very scary time. At the end of the day, people forget that basketball is a game, which happens to also be a profession. The players and staff involved in the NBA have families and lives outside of the game and situations like this, caught on international television, must be incredibly difficult to deal with.
Reports immediately after the event suggested that Stuckey had been taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition. At this point, his return date to the team is unimportant, as the more vital task of finding out what caused the collapse is carried out. Get better, young fella.
