Despite influx of new players due to COVID, Pistons won't be winging it

Detroit — The past couple of Pistons practices have had a getting-to-know-you vibe to them, with as many new faces as veterans in the mix on the roster.

The Pistons continue to add replacement players on 10-day contracts to try to round out the roster and give them more than nine available players, which was the situation on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.

In that blowout loss, the Pistons weren’t a cohesive group defensively, and it showed throughout the game, with missed assignments and communication, which is to be expected from players who haven’t seen much time together on the court.
