Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey has been cleared to return to game action, starting with Friday's road game against Indiana.
Stuckey has missed the last six games after collapsing on the bench of a March 5 game at Cleveland. He was taken away on a stretcher and then spent time in a hospital, but tests for any possible life-threatening condition have reportedly come back negative.
Stuckey and Ben Wallace participated fully in practice Thursday and both are expected to be on the court against the Pacers. Wallace hasn't played in the last eight games due to a sore right knee. He is averaging 5.3 points and 9.1 rebounds in 60 contests this season.
A third-year pro, Stuckey is averaging 17.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists over 62 games this season. He and Wallace are expected to be available as reserves for Friday's game.
