With the 2026 NBA Playoffs being something to look forward to, the Detroit Pistons don’t have anything else to accomplish during the 2025-2026 regular season.
A win over the Philadelphia 76ers helped the Pistons lock up the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed. There’s nowhere else to go from here.
On Monday, April 6, the Pistons have some critical injury questions for their matchup against the Orlando Magic. Tobias Harris and Duncan Robinson are both on the injury report, with their statuses listed as questionable.
For Harris, he continues to deal with a left knee contusion. Robinson has a hip strain, which has been an issue for some time.
The Setbacks Didn’t Have A Recent Effect
Harris entered his reunion game in Philadelphia with a 50/50 chance to play.
After leaving the April 2 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves six minutes in, Harris was cleared and competed against the Sixers for 26 minutes. The veteran forward shot 7-13 from the field to score 19 points. He also had four rebounds, two assists, and four steals.
Robinson’s most recent absence came against the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 30. He played in the following three games against the Toronto Raptors, the Timberwolves, and the Sixers.
In Philadelphia, Robinson checked in for 23 minutes. He shot 4-7 from the field and scored 11 points, while coming down with two rebounds and producing two assists.
The Pistons Can Take It Easy
The fact that Harris and Robinson played in recent matchups makes it clear the Pistons aren’t dealing with notable setbacks to key starters.
However, the team has to monitor every setback closely at this point. The Pistons have enough on their plate in terms of injuries, and they don’t want to add any more while every game is garbage time for them moving forward.
After the 7 PM tip on the road in Orlando, Florida, the Pistons will close out the year with games againstt he Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Hornets, and the Indiana Pacers.
