Rodney Stuckey Collapses

Rodney Stuckey was hospitalized on Friday night after collapsing on the bench during a timeout in the third quarter. The Pistons have indicated that he’s conscious, breathing on his own and otherwise stable, but for several minutes before being carted off the court he appeared to have lost consciousness. ESPN’s Heather Cox, the sideline reporter working the game, indicated that Stuckey may have also suffered a seizure.

Stuckey showed no signs of discomfort until immediately before collapsing, walking to the bench on his own accord and casually chatting with Jonas Jerebko as the game went to commercial. Upon coming back from commercial, ESPN’s cameras showed Stuckey hunched over on the bench, being supported by Arnie Kander until being moved to the floor. At the time, his condition was attributed to a reaction to allergy medicine, although it was serious enough to prevent him from immediately joining the Pistons on a road trip out West. Stuckey missed two games before returning to action.
