Hamilton out 2 games with ankle sprain

[555666]

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton will miss at least two games because of a sprained right ankle.

Pistons coach John Kuester says Ben Gordon will start in Hamilton's spot Friday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chucky Atkins was activated to add depth.

Hamilton also will not play Saturday night at Milwaukee. He was injured late in Wednesday night's season-opening win at Memphis. Postgame X-rays on the ankle were negative.

Hamilton scored a team-high 25 points in the victory and the Coatesville, Pa., native has led Detroit in scoring for seven straight seasons.

Eh, I've heard some things about him getting shipped out. This and Deron being cut when his contract was 100% guaranteed..

They should be fine, according to Kevin Durant the Pistons are stacked.

I don't think they'll fall of very much since they have Ben Gordon starting now

Lol it was only 2 games. Can't fall off that much lol.

Well, our offense has clearly suffered with no Rip. He needs to come back ASAP. No Rip means increased time for Bynum, which isn't good because he is a ballhog.
