Detroit — With just a few days left before the NBA trade deadline, the Pistons appeared to be a team to watch, with several moveable assets.
Now, the Pistons will have to do some watching themselves.
Point guard Derrick Rose, who has been their most consistent player this season, left Sunday’s game because of left groin soreness. With the Pistons playing a back-to-back — they are in Memphis on Monday night — it’s unlikely that Rose will make the trip. What it means for his potential trade value — or whether the Pistons will deal him before the deadline — is unclear.
