Rasheed Wallace and Mike James both made their debuts with the Pistons in the first half Thursday against the Timberwolves, but the team was told at halftime that neither would be allowed to play in the second half.

Michelle Tafoya reported on ESPN's broadcast of the game that the Pistons were informed that Wallace and James could not play the second half in Detroit because of an agent certification issue.

"All the necessary paperwork was not received by the league," Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said late in the third quarter. "It will probably be cleared up (Saturday)."

For a trade to be complete, paperwork for all the teams involved -- in this case the Pistons, Celtics and Hawks -- has to be filed with the league.

In Miami where Atlanta was playing the Heat, the Hawk's acquisitions in the deal, Bob Sura and Zeljko Rebraca, were kept out of the game when the team was told by a league representative that none of the players involved in the trade should play.

Wallace had played seven minutes, hitting two of six shots for four points. James did not score in five minutes.
