Miami — The Pistons were starting to get into a good groove, winning six of eight games, but then the injuries started piling up.
And they were at key positions.
It’s been a struggle to balance the rotation and to have enough guards available, as Frank Jackson (back spasms), Hamidou Diallo (finger sprain), Killian Hayes (adductor) and Rodney McGruder (hamstring) have missed the past few games.
The Pistons got some good news with the return of Hayes and McGruder to the lineup for Tuesday’s matchup against the Miami Heat. It’s two steps forward and one step back, though.
