Detroit strength and conditioning coach Arnie Kander said that Richard Hamilton might be healthy enough to practice Tuesday and said he expects him to play Wednesday night in Game 2.

"We kept him out today. He's getting treatment," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said after Monday's practice. "He's going to be OK. It's probably good that we have a couple days off and don't have a short turnaround, because it gives him more of a chance to get ready.

"We have the ability to get by without him, but he's going to want to play. Arnie and Mike will do a good job and will get him ready to go."
