The Detroit Pistons have remained steadfast in their claim that they won’t make a drastic move at the trade deadline, but an injury to Duncan Robinson may change that quickly.
Robinson had to leave during the 3rd quarter of last night’s overtime debacle with what appeared to be a knee injury.
We’ve talked about the importance of Robinson in the offense, which is why I didn’t think we’d see Jaden Ivey back in his starting role, at least not right away.
If Robinson has to miss any significant amount of time, Ivey’s timeline could be pushed up, though he only played 14 minutes last night, while Daniss Jenkins played 20, so we may see Jenkins in that starter’s spot just to retain some continuity, since it’s something he’s done this season while Ivey has exclusively come off the bench.
