Auburn Hills — The Pistons team store hasn’t stocked any jerseys for Donatas Motiejunas and Marcus Thornton yet.
And there’s a chance they won’t need to.
Following Thursday’s trade with the Houston Rockets, sending reserve center Joel Anthony and a protected first-round pick for the pair, the Pistons still haven’t completed the medical evaluations for Motiejunas.
The 7-foot forward had back surgery last year and has played in just 14 games this season as he’s recovered. Motiejunas has played in the D-League and practiced with the Rockets on Wednesday; he hasn’t played in an NBA game since Dec.
