The Detroit Pistons ended their losing streak against the LA Clippers, and look to continue their winning ways against the Utah Jazz.
Along with continuing their winning ways and moving up in the standings, there’s bigger news in this game for the Pistons.
Ish Smith, who has been out since December 5th with a groin injury, is returning tonight. This is incredible news for the Pistons.
In Smith’s absence, the Pistons have had to rely on the ghost of Jose Calderon to give them big minutes. In some cases, Dwane Casey gave Calderon just as many minutes as Reggie Jackson, which isn’t on Calderon but that’s for another day.
