It’s no secret that for the Detroit Pistons to make a leap as a team next season, they first have to stay healthy.
The Pistons led the NBA in games missed last season, which led to a whopping 17 wins and the worst record in the league.
Cade Cunningham missed all but 12 games, and Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart, Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and Alec Burks all missed significant time with injuries. In the cases of Bogdanovic an Burks, these were more of the “tank” variety as Detroit was throwing games late in the season, but the rest of these guys were legitimately injured, which was a huge problem.
