Detroit's Billups leaves game

Billups was hurt with 8:11 left in the opening quarter of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. He tried driving from the right side to the hoop, knocking down Orlando's Jameer Nelson. As Billups fell, his leg slipped on the court and extended as he did a mini-split before remaining on his stomach for a few moments.

Rodney Stuckey entered the game for Billups, who later left to the locker room, all while the Pistons fell further behind. They trailed 30-16 after the first quarter.

The Pistons lead the best-of-seven series, 2-0, and Billups has been a big part of Detroit's success this postseason. He came into Wednesday's game averaging 17.5 points and 6.4 assists during the postseason. Billups scored 20 of his 28 points in the second half, including a controversial three-pointer in the final second of the third quarter, as the Pistons beat the Magic, 100-93, in Game 2 on Monday.
