Detroit — It’s two steps forward, then two steps back.
Whenever Killian Hayes seems to get things going and he’s ready to put together a good string of games, something happens to push him backward. He had one of his best games of the season on March 7 against the Atlanta Hawks, but then he had an injury and was sidelined.
Again.
It’s been that way for most of his two seasons with the Pistons, where nagging injuries have stunted any kind of consistency and development that he’s had. Against the Hawks, Hayes had 13 points, including going 5-of-8 from the field, with four rebounds and six assists.
