Detroit center Ben Wallace missed a game for the first time this season Wednesday, sitting out the Pistons' game against the New York Knicks with a sore right knee.

Wallace was hurt in Tuesday's home loss to Boston. Coach John Kuester said he would be ``very surprised'' if the 35-year-old veteran played through the weekend.

The former Defensive Player of the Year has been one of the most durable players on an injury-plagued Detroit team, joining guard Rodney Stuckey as the only Pistons to appear in every game.

Knicks swingman Wilson Chandler missed his second straight game for personal reasons.
