Ish Smith has been out with a hamstring injury since the Detroit Pistons December 5th game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Detroit Pistons were 13-9 before he missed any time, and were sitting in a pretty good position with Blake Griffin playing the best ball of his life.
Since Smith has been out, the Pistons have lost 12 of their last 16 games and find themselves outside of the playoffs.
Heading into what will likely be their most important stretch of the season, the return of Smith may be the Pistons only hope to resurrect this season.
