Detroit — Little by little, it’s all starting to come together. In Monday’s preseason game, Reggie Jackson and Blake Griffin returned to the lineup. On Wednesday, it was Jon Leuer who got his first taste of game action, playing for the first time since Oct. 31 against the Lakers.
It’s been a tough road back for Leuer, who missed 74 games last season because of a foot injury, which led to season-ending surgery. He sustained a knee injury in the summer and had to have another surgery, but looks to be ready to return, as he tries to get back into full basketball shape.
