New York − The Pistons stood in a bittersweet situation hours before tip-off against the New York Knicks.
The good news? The team welcomed Alec Burks to the lineup after he missed training camp and the first three weeks of the season due to a fractured left foot.
The bad news arrived when the injury report revealed the team would be without Cade Cunningham due to left shin soreness, which limited him on Wednesday against Boston, according to coach Dwane Casey.
Detroit’s shorthanded roster fell to the Knicks for the second time this season (third if you count the preseason) in a 121-112 loss on Friday.
