Rodney Stuckey Collapsed During Timeout In NBA Game — On NBA Friday night game, Detroit Pistons’ Rodney Stuckey was rushed to the hospital after collapsed into a coach’s arms in the bench during timeout against the Cleveland Cavaliers. When he’s rushed to the hospital, many reported that he’s still conscious and breathing.

The 23-year-old Stuckey was wheeled off on a stretcher after being treated by medical personnel on the court for 12 minutes, and was taken to the Cleveland Clinic in an ambulance.

ESPN, which was televising the game nationally, said Rodney Stuckey was conscious, breathing on his own and in stable condition at the hospital. It was not immediately clear why he had collapsed.

“It’s very difficult,” Cleveland’s LeBron James said after the Cavaliers won 99-92. “When something like that happens, we’re all one family. Our prayers go out to him.”
James said the teams met at center court after the game to say a prayer for Stuckey.
Stuckey appeared fine as he walked off the court during the timeout late in the third quarter of the game at Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena. Stuckey, who started the game and had played 25 minutes, had 8 points and 10 assists. Then, while sitting on the bench, he fell into the arms of strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander.

Next time A-Rod might think twice about running across Dallas Braden's mound.

The Oakland lefty who go into a war of words with Alex Rodriguez last month, and challenged him to fight late last week, threw    the Athletics' first perfect game in 42 years with a dazzling performance in a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.

It was the majors' first perfect game since Mark Buehrle did it for the White Sox against the Rays on July 23, and the second no-hitter this season after Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez pulled it off against the Braves in Atlanta on April 17.

Braden pitched the A's first perfect game since Hall of Famer Jim "Catfish" Hunter's gem on May 8, 1968, against the Minnesota Twins.

Braden helped the A's to a 4-2 win over the Bombers on April 22, and it wasn't without controversy. During the Yankee loss, Rodriguez ran across the mound, much to Braden's dismay.

"He should maybe watch his captain a little more often," Braden said, referring to Derek Jeter, after the game. "It doesn't start and end with him over there at third."

Braden continued, saying: "(The Yankees) are an extremely classy organization with guys who always tend to do the right thing every time; it's kind of disheartening to see that not show through or be reflected by somebody of (Rodriguez's) status. He's a tremendous player and a tremendous talent, and I don't care if I'm Cy Young or the 25th man on a roster; if I've got the ball in my hand and I'm out there on that mound, that's not your mound. You want to run across the mound? Go run laps in the bullpen. That's my mound."
This wasn't the first on-field run-in for Rodriguez, whose infamous glove slap of Bronson Arroyo in the 2004 ALCS and "Ha!" comment in May of 2007 at Toronto infuriated opponents.

"He just told me to get off his mound," Rodriguez said on the exchange with Braden. "That was a little surprising. I've never quite heard that - especially from a guy that has a handful of wins in his career."
Braden, who is 17-23 in his four-year career, was stunned by A-Rod's maneuver.
