Charlotte − “Next man up” has been a constant theme for the Pistons throughout the season as injuries have hindered the Pistons’ plans to find consistency within their young core.
That was the case again on Monday, as the short-handed Pistons ventured to Charlotte for a one-game road trip. Detroit had just nine healthy players going into their third meeting of the season.
The Pistons were without Bojan Bogdanovic, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, all of whom did not make the trip to Charlotte, while Isaiah Stewart was ruled out before tipoff due to right hip soreness.
