AUBURN HILLS – The news on Luke Kennard could have been worse.
But Dwane Casey prefers it had been better than the verdict delivered Friday after an MRI exam on the shoulder Kennard injured in Thursday’s win over Cleveland. It’s a sprain of the AC joint – in layman’s terms, a separated shoulder – and Kennard will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
That doesn’t mean he’ll be back in the lineup by mid-November, necessarily. You might recall that when Reggie Jackson tore ankle ligaments last December, the initial prognosis called for him to be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks.
