Every Detroit Pistons story starts with the injury report and ends with Detroit extending its winning streak. So I guess we’ll start with the injury report. Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, Ausar Thompson, and Jaden Ivey are all out for the Pistons. You might also recognize that as the entire planned starting lineup entering the season. Alas. Detroit will also be without Marcus Sasser. But the team is getting Isaiah Stewart back! So that’s something.
The Pistons have not just been surviving
but thriving with their key players out lately. Tonight, they are attempting to win their ninth consecutive game.
The Sixers, meanwhile, will be without Joel Embiid and Paul George, but VJ Edcombe, the outstanding rookie, will be back in the lineup.
