The Detroit Pistons sit outside of Eastern Conference playoff contention as they face the New Orleans Pelicans on the road Wednesday night. The Pistons have a sizable advantage coming in to the game as Anthony Davis nurses a finger injury that will keep him sidelined for a couple of weeks. But, Davis only played just under 26 minutes in their previous contest this season and the New Orleans Pelicans were more than capable of stretching the Pistons’ out just enough to log a victory.
While Andre Drummond had not arrived in New Orleans with the team, and would reportedly be present later, the question looms as to whether or not he will be available to play after being placed in concussion protocol due to a blow from Miami Heat’s James Johnson during Friday’s game.
