NBA: Pistons Hamilton to miss season-opener

Associated Press

MIAMI -- Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton will miss the team's season-opener at Miami today because of a family emergency, and rookie Arron Afflalo was expected to start in his place.

Hamilton could rejoin the Pistons in Orlando on Friday, coach Flip Saunders said.

Hamilton averaged a team-high 19.8 points last season.
