<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> center <span>Ben Wallace</span> didn't play on Friday night after missing the morning shootaround <a href="http://detroit.sbnation.com/detroit-pistons/2011/2/26/2017356/pistons-richard-hamilton-chris-wilcox-fined">because of a terminal illness</a> a close family member was dealing with. That family member dealing with the illness was Rev. James McBride, Wallace's oldest brother, and he died today at the age of 58.</p>
<p>Because of McBride's death, <a href="http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2011/02/pistons_ben_wallace_out_of_lin.html">Wallace will be out indefinitely</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Wallace missed two games in late January and a handful of practices and shootarounds -- including the one Friday in Philadelphia -- due to a family matter. The Pistons said Wallace will be out of the lineup indefinitely.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>SB Nation Detroit's thoughts go out to Ben Wallace and his famliy.</p>
