Washington, D.C. — The Pistons didn’t get any better news on the injury front Monday. Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose and Reggie Jackson didn’t travel with the team and the outlook on Tim Frazier, who missed Saturday’s game because of a right shoulder strain, didn’t improve either.

That limited that Pistons’ reserve group and pushed Bruce Brown back into duty as the starting point guard. After a successful first outing against the Nets’ Kyrie Irving, Brown had another tough task, guarding the Wizards’ Bradley Beal and Isaiah Thomas, who present completely different skill sets for him to defend.
