Charlotte, N.C. — First, it was Zaza Pachulia last week. Then it was Blake Griffin on Wednesday.
Andre Drummond was next to get the stomach virus that’s been going around the Pistons team. Drummond missed the morning shootaround ahead of Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets because of the illness.
After getting some rest and intravenous fluids before the game, Drummond was cleared to play.
It was almost a very rare sick day for Drummond. He rarely misses a game at all, having played in 443 of the last 449 games, dating back to March 2013.
