Miami — Things can change in a hurry in the NBA, and never as much as this season, with COVID protocols changing rosters day by day.
The Pistons had to adjust to sudden change just before their matchup against the Miami Heat, as four of their rotation players were placed in the league’s health and safety protocols in the hours before tip-off.
Although the Pistons were without starters Isaiah Stewart and Killian Hayes, as well as guards Saben Lee and Rodney McGruder, they stayed close to the Heat, and even led by double digits in the first half.
