Miami — The Pistons have been beset by injuries this season but got a boost with the return of Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose on Monday night. They’re still below .500 this season, but working two of their key players back into the lineup is a big development and will let some of the short-term starters get back to their more comfortable roles off the bench.
As they navigate the early part of their schedule, they’ll look to turn things around and fit the new pieces into the rotation and sort things out.
