Ann Arbor — Out of sight, out of mind.
Jon Leuer was out of the lineup for almost all of last season, playing in just eight games before a mysterious foot injury sidelined him for the short term. When the injury got progressively worse, it ended up shelving the 6-foot-10 forward for the season.
The Pistons training staff tried to figure out the issues, but when the foot was diagnosed as a severe ankle sprain, it curiously didn’t get better. It continued to swell and Leuer did what he needed to help heal.
Things just didn’t get better.
