Detroit Pistons Roster Report

--G Richard Hamilton has been the team's top scorer since he straightened out his differences with coach John Kuester and regained his rotation spot after the trade deadline. Hamilton is averaging 15.8 points in March, including six 20-point games. He has also drawn praise from Kuester for his defense.

--C Chris Wilcox did not play during the second half against Indiana on Saturday because of knee soreness. That's been a consistent theme for Wilcox over the past two seasons. Every time he gets steady playing time, he goes to the sideline with a nagging injury. Wilcox has been starting at center the last three games with Ben Wallace also bothered by a knee injury.

--G Tracy McGrady did not play Saturday because of back spasms. His back flared up before the Cleveland game Friday, and he played 21 ineffective minutes that night. Rodney Stuckey started in his place and had 16 points and six assists Saturday, while Will Bynum added six points and four assists as Stuckey's backup.

MEDICAL WATCH

--F Jonas Jerebko (partial right Achilles tear) underwent surgery Oct. 8. He will not play this season.

--G Terrico White (fractured bone in right foot) underwent surgery Oct. 8. He has returned to practice, but it's uncertain if he will play this season.

--C Ben Wallace (sore left knee) has not played the last three games. He is questionable to play against Indiana on Wednesday.
