The Pistons have lost four straight games, but coach Dwane Casey says resting Blake Griffin is "prudent." Rod Beard, The Detroit News
Philadelphia — The Pistons already have had their troubles during a brutal stretch in their schedule. Now, they’ll have to take on their nemesis without their best player.
Coach Dwane Casey announced before Monday’s matchup against the Sixers that Blake Griffin will miss the game and rest. It’s the first game Griffin has missed this season, as he’s put up All-Star-worthy numbers.
The Pistons have lost four straight, including squandering a 15-point lead at home against the Sixers on Friday.
