NBA’s hardship deals uncovering ghosts of Pistons’ past

Thanks to the Omicron variant, Greg Monroe is back.

The former Detroit Pistons centerpiece returned to the NBA this week on a 10-day hardship deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had a solid first game back, scoring 11 points while grabbing 9 rebounds to go with six assists in a Minnesota win.

Even better was this quote after the game: “Not gonna lie, Jaylen Nowell played awesome tonight, but I had no idea who that was.”

That’s what the past month has been in the NBA: A collective “WHO” from everyone.
