Chucky to back up Stuckey? Pistons Reportedly Trying Out Chucky Atkins

Stay connected for news and updates

Bringing back Chucky was joked about by Pistons Nation when the news broke that he was waived by the T-Wolves, but no way, right?

Well, tonight I saw a tweet from WTFDetroit that revealed a report that Chucky Atkins was returning to the Pistons.  I immediately went to MLIVE and they had this, pretty funny line before quoting their source: 

The team will reportedly bring Chucky Atkins with a non-guaranteed contract and a training camp invite (from Need4SheedDetroit Bad BoysPistonsNationPistonPowered ... (seriously, this is like the last Pistons blog to hear apparently):

From our Pistons Insider Matt Dery at 97.1 The Ticket:

"97.1 The Ticket has learned that the Pistons are bringing back guard Chucky Atkins. The veteran point man, recently released by Minnesota, will receive a non-guaranteed tryout with Detroit. Atkins has been invited to the team’s training camp, which opens Tuesday"

Nope, I was the last to hear apparently.  I was in my immigration law class until 9:30 and hustled home to watch the end of the Tigers sweep and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

I'm not ashamed, though.  I wouldn't exactly chalk this up as Earth shattering news.  There's probably a 99.9% chance that you'll never see anymore Chucky/Stuckey headlines this year, as Atkins probably won't make it past the tryout.  Notable nonetheless and you never know.

Atkins is 35-years old and has been a Kenny Lofton-like journeyman since Detroit, playing with six teams (seven if you count the T-Wolves) in five seasons.
