PHILADELPHIA – Three games together. That’s what the Pistons have gotten from their two best shooters, Reggie Bullock and Luke Kennard.
And even that’s exaggerating it. By the time Kennard returned from a 16-game injury absence last week against Oklahoma City, Bullock had already departed with a sprained ankle suffered in the first three minutes.
Bullock missed his fourth consecutive game in Monday’s loss to the 76ers when Kennard gave the first evidence yet that he’s shaken off the rust of his rehab from a separated shoulder. His 28 points in 37 minutes – career highs on both counts – were the most encouraging news of a bleak week marked by injuries and a five-game losing streak.
