Stuckey was helped straight off the court and into the Pacers' locker room during the third quarter of Friday's game against the Pistons, and will not return, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Stuckey reportedly was hit in the face by Andre Drummond, who was contesting his shot. He is dealing with a facial contusion, but his initial questionable return tag Friday likely indicates it shouldn't be a long-term injury. His status will likely receive a more conclusive update before the Pacers' next game Saturday against the Nets.
