Miami — Fitting the mosaic of his ever-changing playing rotation has been a challenge for Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey. Injuries have made it a daily task, with Blake Griffin’s uncertain status, Derrick Rose’s hamstring issues and Reggie Jackson’s lingering back problems.
In their first 12 games, the Pistons have had five starting lineups, and it could be another on Friday when they face the Charlotte Hornets and could have Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose back in the lineup.
Both played in Monday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves but rested in Tuesday’s loss at Miami.
