Ben Gordon will return to the Pistons' bench once Rodney Stuckey is able to play his usual number of minutes. BG has averaged 21.2 points in his past five starts for Detroit, but he's a weaker defender than Stuckey. Head coach Lawrence Frank suggested that playing time will be doled out based on performance night-to-night, but that first requires that they're both healthy (Stuckey is battling a toe injury but expects to play Sunday).

Ben Gordon played just 18 minutes on Friday against the Hawks, scoring six points on 3-of-5 shooting with two rebounds and one assist. Gordon hasn't proven enough this year to stick with him through times like this. And while Stuckey is banged up right now, as long as he plays Sunday like he says he will there is no reason to have Gordon on a roster in 12-team formats.

Ben Gordon scored 13 points on 6-of-14 shooting (no threes) with three rebounds and two assists in the Pistons' 99-94 win over the Wizards on Thursday. Gordon started and played 35 minutes, while Rodney Stuckey (15 points) returned to action and played well in 19 minutes off the bench. Gordon has been inconsistent all year and will likely lose his value when Stuckey is at full speed, but he's worth a look while he's starting.

As expected, Ben Gordon (groin) will play on Tuesday while Rodney Stuckey (hamstring) will not. This confirms an earlier report that Gordon would be in and Stuckey would be out, so owners shouldn't be surprised with the news on either player. Gordon should start in Stuckey's place at shooting guard, where he's averaged 16.1 points and 1.8 treys in that role.

Ben Gordon (groin) is "likely" to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Magic. Gordon practiced on Monday and did not aggravate the injury, so he should be all systems go on Tuesday. Rodney Stuckey (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice, but he's likely to sit out his third straight game. Gordon should draw the start in Stuckey's place, and he's averaging 16.1 points and 1.8 treys in 18 starts this season.

Ben Gordon (groin) returned to practice Monday, but Rodney Stuckey (hamstring) remained sidelined.

Ben Gordon (groin) will miss another game on Saturday. There haven't been many clear updates on Gordon's status, and he remains day-to-day. Detroit has four games next week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Ben Gordon (groin) did not play on Friday against the Bulls. We don't have a real beat on how serious Gordon's groin injury is, and we can't imagine either Gordon or the Pistons rushing him back. Austin Daye will continue to play a prominent role until Gordon and Rodney Stuckey (hamstring) return.

Ben Gordon (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Ben Gordon (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday. Gordon hurt his groin in Monday's game and never returned to the floor. With Rodney Stuckey (toe) back in action, owners can move on from Gordon for a hot free agent at this critical juncture in the fantasy season.
