Pistons coach Dwane Casey sees no nights off in Blake Griffin's future

Auburn Hills — After shouldering the load throughout much of the first three games of the season, coach Dwane Casey does not see any nights off coming soon for Blake Griffin.

While players with injury histories across the league such as Gordon Hayward, Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler already have sat out games, the Pistons coach does not see any “DNPs” in the immediate future for the league’s leading scorer.

“Different bodies, different people,” Casey said Wednesday, one night after Griffin scored a career-high 50 points and made the deciding basket and free throw in a 133-132 overtime win against Philadelphia.
