But Wallace, who missed the past three games, practiced for more than an hour Tuesday and is expected to play tonight against the Cavaliers. "We sat him out a little bit at the end (of practice), but I would anticipate him playing," coach Flip Saunders said. Wallace said he's not completely healthy but said the considerable pain he endured a week ago has subsided. He stopped practicing early Tuesday because he wanted to avoid further pain, injury and soreness. "I'm going to try (to play)," Wallace said. "I'm not saying that I'm 100 percent, and I'm not saying definitely I will (play), but I'm going to try and see how it feels. "It's still a day-to-day thing. I'm not trying to rush it or nothing because even though these next few games are important, especially going out on the West Coast ... we've got the playoffs coming up, bigger picture." Following tonight's game, the Pistons embark on a five-game trip over nine days, including back-to-back games against the SuperSonics and Trail Blazers. The Pistons were 1-2 without Wallace, including Monday's 111-93 loss to the Warriors. "It's much easier (when he's in the lineup), especially if he's posting up making shots, and then he comes out and sets a screen and hits a three," forward Tayshaun Prince said. Wallace said the injury has limited him in terms of speed. Still, the foot is better than it was a week ago.</div> Source
