Rodney Stuckey Collapses During Game

The Sports Juke has found some video provided by ESPN on Rodney Stuckey. Scary stuff, but he seems to be okay.

Here's what Vince Ellis of the Free Press has for us last night. It was one of the first stories to come out:

CLEVELAND -- Pistons point guard Rodney Stuckey collapsed on the Pistons bench tonight after suffering what TV analysts called a “violent seizure.”During a time-out at the 2:30 mark of the third quarter, Stuckey appeared to be trying to communicate with Pistons strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander when he slumped over in Kander’s arms. He was attended to by medical personnel for some period of time before he was carried off the floor on a stretcher. ESPN reported he was conscious and his vital signs were stable. Five minutes earlier, they reported his eyes were closed and he had an oxygen mask over his mouth. ESPN reporter Heather Cox said Stuckey would be taken to the Cleveland Clinic for evaluation. Stuckey missed two games in November of 2008 because of dizziness.

Not to make light of this situation. But the Washington Post has the headline of the year.

"Stuckey Collapses as Pistons lose to Cavs"

Men get well Stuckey. I don't know what happened to you. You seemed fine when you were on the bench minutes earlier. I hope you get better.

What's up with the Pistons players just looking at him like "this guy is an embarrassment"? Glad to hear he's okay.

Did the guy actually have a seizure or not? If he just slumped and passed out, it could be he just fainted or was dehydrated or something. ESPN said violent seizure but no one else has said that yet and they didnt say that in this new report.
