The Pistons open the season without their best player but Casey says they have a plan until Blake Griffin is able to return. Rod Beard, The Detroit News
Indianapolis — The Pistons are getting back to familiar territory, which might not be a good thing.
They’ll start the season without Blake Griffin, who will be out until early November because of lingering issues with his knee and a sore hamstring. He’s expected to miss 8-10 games during that span and the Pistons will have to make do without their leading scorer and primary offensive facilitator.
