Free-falling Pistons fade late to 76ers, drop fifth straight

Detroit — The injuries keep piling up for the Pistons and the losses aren’t far behind. When one player comes back, another is sitting out.

The Pistons got Blake Griffin back from a two-game absence because of the flu but were without Bruce Brown (calf soreness) and Luke Kennard (knee soreness).

Against the Philadelphia 76ers, being shorthanded wasn’t what the Pistons needed.

Even with Griffin struggling offensively, the Pistons stayed close before the 76ers pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 125-109 victory on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena.
