Pregame Reading:
No Miles Bridges or P.J. Washington tonight for Charlotte:
Well, this is pretty significant: Miles Bridges (health & safety protocols) and PJ Washington (personal reasons) are both OUT tonight vs. Detroit.
— Rod Boone (@rodboone) May 4, 2021
If Bridges is out 14 days that’s basically the rest of the regular season, yikes for Charlotte.
Over at the Detroit News, Rod Beard wrote up how disappointed Dwane Casey was in the youth’s inability to compete for 48 minutes in the previous game against Orlando.
In The Athletic, James Edwards and Josh Robbins had a fun running diary of the Pistons-Magic game.
Omari Sankofa II at the Detroit Free Press had a Q&A session with Deividas Sirvydis, probably the Pistons player we know the least about.
And, of course, the image that should warm the heart of every Pistons fan:
That should just about do it. Enjoy the game tonight, y’all.
