The Detroit Pistons may still be without a starter when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, May 15, at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
Duncan Robinson is questionable on the Pistons injury report released Thursday evening, after missing their Game 5 loss on Wednesday with lower back soreness. He took just two shots in 29 minutes in Monday’s Game 4 loss in Cleveland. Robinson had started all 11 playoff games for the Pistons, shooting a blistering 43.6% on 3s (3.1 makes on 7.1 attempts per game).
Caris LeVert is still dealing with a right heel contusion and is questionable. He played 24 minutes in Game 5 and finished with seven points on 2-for-7 shooting.
Kevin Huerter returned from a seven game absence with a left adductor strain on Friday and is questionable. He appeared briefly in Wednesday’s loss and recorded just one stat, an assist, in 3:22 of action in the first quarter. He never played again.
