The Detroit Pistons will start the season shorthanded, which has opened up a big opportunity for two-way player Daniss Jenkins, who has a chance to be a savior.
Jaden Ivey is out for at least a month when he’ll be re-evaluated, so the Pistons can’t count on him until at least the middle of November.
Marcus Sasser is also dealing with a hip impingement that could keep him out for the opener, which leaves the Pistons with little point guard depth behind Cade Cunningham.
Jenkins will likely be the next man up, and if what we saw in preseason holds he looks up to the task and could secure himself a full-time contract in the process.
