Rodney Stuckey: Fully healthy, plans to visit several teams
Rodney Stuckey (knee) is fully healthy and intends to visit several NBA teams after Labor Day, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.Stuckey was cut last season in late March by the Pacers before his player option would have kicked in. The decision by management was relatively straightforward considering Stuckey was dealing with a knee injury that was set to have him sidelined for four-to-six weeks. He appeared in just 39 games during 2016-17, posting 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 17.8 minutes per game (the smallest workload of his career) while shooting 37.3 percent from the field. If he ends up finding a suitor, it will likely be for a reserve role once again.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Waived by Indiana
Rodney Stuckey (knee) was waived by the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.The Pacers had until April 10 to release Stuckey before his player option for next season would have kicked in, and the team will take the opportunity to not only save some money, but also to potentially add a healthy player to the roster for the final couple weeks of the regular season. Stuckey, who was diagnosed with a left patellar strain Tuesday and ruled out for four-to-six weeks, will now turn his focus to rehabbing in hopes of landing a new contract this offseason. The 30-year-old will conclude the injury-plagued season having appeared in only 39 games, posting averages of 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Ruled out four-to-six weeks
The Indiana Pacers announced Tuesday that Rodney Stuckey (knee) is dealing with a left patellar tendon strain and would be sidelined for four-to-six weeks.Stuckey left Sunday's win over the 76ers with a sore knee, prompting the team to order an MRI in an effort to get an official diagnosis. With the scans revealing that Stuckey's injury was more serious than anticipated, he'll now miss the rest of the regular season and likely the playoffs, barring a deep run by the Pacers. In his stead, Aaron Brooks figures to benefit the most, as he's now the unquestioned top backup to Jeff Teague. Monta Ellis and C.J. Miles will also pick up some additional run, especially with fellow wing Glenn Robinson (calf) uncertain to return before the end of the regular season.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Questionable Tuesday vs. Timberwolves
Rodney Stuckey (knee), who is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.Stuckey was pulled early from Sunday's game against the 76ers due to left knee soreness, but the fact that he's slated for an MRI likely means the Indiana Pacers have some concerns over the injury. The Pacers head into a back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday, so there's a chance coach Nate McMillan could take a cautious approach and hold Stuckey out for at least one of those contests. More clarity on Stuckey's health should be provided following Tuesday's morning shootaround.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: MRI on tap Monday
Rodney Stuckey (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday.Stuckey left Sunday's game against the 76ers with what was diagnosed as a sore left knee, but the Indiana Pacers' decision to send him in for further scans suggests the team is concerned he might be dealing with a more severe issue. It doesn't seem promising that Stuckey will be able to suit up Tuesday against the Timberwolves, but official word on that front probably won't come until after the Pacers' morning shootaround. C.J. Miles and Monta Ellis would likely be in line for a few extra minutes apiece if Stuckey is ruled out.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Exits Sunday with sore knee
Rodney Stuckey suffered a sore left knee in Sunday's game against the 76ers and won't return.The severity of Stuckey's injury isn't certain, but the Indiana Pacers should have a better idea regarding his health prior to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves. If he's ultimately forced to sit out Tuesday and beyond, C.J. Miles could see addition run as the top backup at both wing spots.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Leads bench with nine points Sunday
Rodney Stuckey accumulated nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, and two rebounds across 20 minutes during Sunday's 102-98 victory over the Heat.After missing a combined 32 games this season due to injuries with both his hamstrings and right ankle, Stuckey has quietly settled into a 17.1 minute per game bench role since the conclusion of the All-Star break. That being said, he's still trying to shake the rust off, as he's only shooting 29.8 percent from the field over the past nine contests. His status is likely only worth monitoring in deeper leagues, though if he misses any more time, it could open up value in DFS for guys like Monta Ellis.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Scores nine points in 14 minutes Monday
Rodney Stuckey (ankle) put up nine points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and one assist across 14 minutes in a 93-90 win over the Thunder on Monday.Stuckey settled in as the backup to starting point guard Jeff Teague in his return from a two-game absence, resulting in Aaron Brooks getting pushed out of the rotation. The veteran was able to provide the Indiana Pacers with a scoring lift during his time on the court, and his ability to play either backcourt spot could allow him to claim a few more minutes in future contests. Health still remains a concern for Stuckey, however, as he's made only 19 appearances on the season while battling injuries to both hamstrings and his right ankle.

Pacers' Rodney Stuckey: Game-time decision Monday vs. Thunder
Rodney Stuckey (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Monday's tilt with the Thunder, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.Stuckey's 2016-17 season has been an injury-plagued mess, as he's missed extensive time due to injuries to both hamstrings and returned to action last week for a game and immediately preceded to sprain his right ankle. The latest setback has already sidelined him for two games, but the Indiana Pacers will check back on Stuckey's condition in the hours leading up to game time Monday before determining his status. If Stuckey is held out again, Aaron Brooks, Glenn Robinson and Monta Ellis could all take on a few extra minutes with the second unit.
