Pistons' Hamilton (ankle) out for two games
BY VINCE ELLIS

Richard Hamilton (sprained right ankle) will miss tonight's home opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Pistons coach John Kuester said he will also miss Saturday night's game at Milwaukee.

Ben Gordon, who was signed in the off-season, will get the start in place of the 10-year veteran.

Hamilton hurt his ankle with five minutes left in the Memphis game when he landed on O.J. Mayo’s foot. Hamilton shot two free throws and eventually left the court for treatment. He was hobbled so badly afterward that he was rode in a wheelchair to the X ray room as a precaution.

Chucky Atkins was activated to take Hamilton's roster spot for the game.
