Auburn Hills — The NBA regular season begins in just over a week and after an encouraging summer, the Pistons find themselves with as many question marks as answers. They were many experts’ — and my — chic pick to make a move, getting as high as the top half of the Eastern Conference’s playoff teams.
Compounding the news of Reggie Jackson’s tendinitis injury that will keep him out 10-20 games of the regular season, mild knee tendinitis also kept Marcus Morris out of the last two exhibition games.
Add to the mix that Aron Baynes missed Saturday’s 97-76 win over the 76ers because of back spasms and there’s renewed concern about what the Pistons’ prospects might be in the East.
