Pistons’ Blake Griffin out at least one week with bone bruise in ankle

Auburn Hills — Just when the Detroit Pistons were starting to get healthy and rack up a few wins, they got another injury.

The team announced Friday that Blake Griffin has a bone bruise in his right ankle and will be out for a week, and then his status will be re-evaluated. That means Griffin will miss the weekend back-to-back in New York against the Knicks on Saturday and Nets on Sunday, plus Wednesday’s matchup at home against Philadelphia 76ers.

Griffin had an MRI on Thursday after he was a late scratch for the game against the Washington Wizards at Little Caesars Arena, which the Pistons won, 103-92.
