Detroit F Prince suffers back injury

Basketball Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Detroit Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince suffered an injury to his back and had to be assisted off the floor in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics.

With 4:53 remaining in the quarter, Prince went to the hoop and collided with Boston's Kendrick Perkins. As he was falling down, Prince's back hit the knee of Detroit center Jason Maxiell. Prince remained on his stomach in obvious pain for a few minutes before finally being helped to his feet and to the locker room.

Prince missed 32 games this season with a small ruptured disc in his lower back and a sore left knee. He came into Monday's game averaging 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists.

Prince had played in 497 straight games until having that streak broken on November 3 when he missed a contest against Orlando due to a lower back strain.

This was the second scary on-court episode for the Pistons this month. On March 5, Rodney Stuckey was taken from the court in Cleveland on a stretcher following his near-collapse on the bench in a game against the Cavaliers. Stuckey still hasn't returned to the lineup.
