Rodney Stuckey is missing a tooth, and will need surgery in November to have an implant installed.
Which, all things considered, isn't such a bad thing. Last season he was missing a healthy ankle and foot, and there's no implant for that.
Stuckey suffered through one of the more frustrating of his nine NBA seasons a year ago when sprains to his right ankle and foot kept him out of 24 games and limited his productivity in some of the games he played. He's back this season, feeling fit and feeling appropriate for new Pacers coach Nate McMillan's attacking style of play.
