The Indiana Pacers have upgraded backup guard Rodney Stuckey to probable for tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
Stuckey missed 10 games with a hamstring strain after going down early in the Pacers’ second game of the season. He was expected to miss at least two weeks but tonight’s return is mildly surprising.
Stuckey hinted at the possibility yesterday.

Two games (and really less than that) is a small sample size, but the good news is in those 26 minutes Stuckey was 4 of 7 from the field and 1 of 2 from 3-point range.
