Only two Detroit Pistons – Bruce Brown and Langston Galloway – have played in all 30 games this season, and that highlights the issues they’ve endured with injuries.
Chief among them are two starters. Reggie Jackson has missed the last 28 games after playing in the first two. Blake Griffin has played in 15 of the 30 games and has missed three of the last four – all losses.
Detroit is 11-19 and on the cusp of missing the playoffs for the ninth time since 2010 with a West coast trip looming.
