Rodney Stuckey spent the night in the hospital after collapsing into the arms

Detroit Pistons’ Rodney Stuckey spent the night in the hospital after collapsing into the arms of a trainer during a timeout in the team’s National Basketball Association loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.The 23-year-old guard was “alert” at the Cleveland Clinic early today, the

team said on its Web site. There was no word on the cause of his collapse.
Late in the third quarter last night, Stuckey seemed fine as he walked off the court and sat down. He suddenly grabbed strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander as he slid to the floor. Medics worked on him for about 12 minutes before taking him to the hospital.
“He came over and he told Arnie he was feeling a little dizzy,” said forward Charlie Villanueva on the team’s Web site. “He drank some water and the next thing you know, he passed out. He sat down and said he was feeling a little bit dizzy. It was very scary because you don’t know what’s going on.”Stuckey had to be helped to the locker room at halftime of a November 2008 game in Detroit against the Boston Celtics because of dizziness, the Detroit Free Press said on its Web site. He did not return to that game and missed the following two games.
Stuckey, who started the game and had played 25 minutes, had 8 points and 10 assists at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena.
“It’s very difficult,” Cleveland’s LeBron James said after the Cavaliers won 99-92. “When something like that happens, we’re all one family. Our prayers go out to him.”
He says he is a regular visitor to NBA news clearinghouses Hoopshype.com and RealGM.com because he likes following the latest rumors around the league.
So he wasn't surprised to be asked about his future with the Pistons on Wednesday night after their latest loss -- this time a 128-104 blowout to the Knicks.
He saw all those stories saying that he was the Pistons' most valuable asset at the trade deadline and that if a deal were to be done, Detroit would most likely have to part with the third-year guard from Eastern Washington.
Those rumors likely will restart in earnest this summer when free agency begins.
Stuckey said he wants to stay in Motown but understands the reality of the situation.
"Whatever happens, happens," Stuckey said. "It's a business."
Stuckey learned that lesson when two games into his second season the Pistons shipped Chauncey Billups to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson in what was mostly a business move to clear cap space.
