Hamilton, Prince to miss Pistons game

Ted Kulfan / The Detroit News

Orlando -- The Pistons aren't going to have Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince tonight when they face the Orlando Magic.

This will be the fifth game Hamilton has missed with a sprained right ankle. Prince will miss his second game with a lower back problem.

Coach John Kuester wouldn't commit to either being ready for Sunday's home game against Philadelphia.

But, Kuester said the reports on both are encouraging.

With the two regulars out, Kuester is expected to start Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon in the backcourt, with Jonas Jerebko, Charlie Villanueva and Ben Wallace up front.
