Stuckey Benched For Insubordination

Rodney Stuckey refused to enter the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Bulls. He subsequently did not play in Sunday's 101-90 loss to the Boston Celtics.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Stuckey's benching Sunday was discipline by coach John Kuester for refusing to enter the game Friday.

"This is a growing process, and we've had a slight setback," Kuester said after the game of Stuckey not playing. When asked if things were being handled internally, Kuester responded, "Yes".

After Sunday's game, Stuckey repeatedly said "there are six games left."

"That's all I have to say," said Stuckey when pressed about it. "Six games left. That's it. I can survive for six games."

Stuckey will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

"Absolutely," said Stuckey when asked if he wanted to return. "At the end of the year I have to sit down with my agent, do what we have to do. But yeah, I want to return. I'm very comfortable here. I love the community, I help out a lot around here."

A "slight setback" smh.

I'd let Stuckey leave if I was Detroit, he'll never lead a winning team.

he wants out. now this means we're gonna overpay like a bitch just to sign him. overpay for a player who doesnt have a real position on this team. yes!

What else is new in Detroit lol.
I hope Kuester knows he just look like an even bigger idiot for benching him though.
