Brandon Knight left before the end of the first quarter from an elbow under the basket from former Piston DaJuan Summers. Knight suffered a broken nose and is doubtful to return against the Hornets, but I’m betting he’ll be back for their next game looking like another masked man we know.
With just a handful of game left in this unstable Pistons season, one thing we can count on is that we won’t be seeing Jonas Jerebko return. It’s official and I’m OK with that. Jonas is one of the bright spots on the roster. A kid we knew nothing about when the Pistons drafted him [...]
Rodney Stuckey left Wednesday night’s game against Denver withe a shoulder contusion after taking a vicious looking hit (screen) by Carmelo Anthony and didn’t return. X-rays were negative, “He caught me at a good angle and I got hit,” Stuckey said. “I know I’m going to be sore tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes, just [...]
Basketball fans in the great state of Michigan don’t expect their players to go injury free all season long, but what they know they can count when they do is that the Pistons have one of the best, if not the best strength and conditioning coaches in the NBA. Players with chronic injuries, possible career [...]

For a team that looked like they were going to be offensive-minded to start the season, things sure did change. With the bulk of the Pistons scoring sidelined due to injuries, the Pistons snapped their seven game skid Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Hawks 88-94. You can thank the defense, gritty play from “The Swede,” [...]
