Chauncey Billups, sent to Denver in the Allen Iverson trade last November, will return to play the Pistons in Detroit for the first time on Tuesday night.

"I'm sure it will be emotional," Billups said. "I had a lot of great years there. I'm sure it's always going to be my home away from home. It will be pretty emotional, but it will be a lot of fun."

Pistons president Joe Dumars believes that Billups will get a tremendous ovation.

"Chauncey should get a tremendous ovation," Dumars told The Associated Press. "And, he will get a tremendous ovation.

"He deserves it."
