After becoming thin at the guard position in recent weeks due to injury, the Pistons have signed Walker D. Russell, Jr. from the NBA D League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants.

The move was made as Rodney Stuckey will be held out of Friday night’s game against Memphis after aggravating a groin injury Wednesday night in Minnesota.

Will Bynum will also be held out of Friday night’s game because of a strained foot while Charlie Villanueva is still dealing with a sore ankle.

Russell, Jr. is expected to get some minutes against the Grizzlies.
