Preparing for Game 5, the Detroit Pistons have a few key names on the injury report against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Fortunately, the Pistons had a positive turnout at their morning shootaround.
According to Michigan Live’s Jacob Richman, the Pistons had Duncan Robinson participating in shootaround on Wednesday morning. Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert were present at the session, although their status was not revealed.
Who Could Miss Game 5 Action For The Pistons?
The Pistons downgraded Robinson due to back soreness. The veteran sharpshooter is viewed as questionable for the matchup.
*UPDATE: Duncan Robinson has been ruled OUT for Game 5 on Wednesday.
Wednesday’s game would serve as Robinson’s first absence of this year’s playoffs if he doesn’t get the nod to play.
In the last time out, Robinson checked in for just under 29 minutes. The veteran sharpshooter took just two shots from the field, scoring four points. Robinson could end up as a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Beyond Robinson, the Pistons are still in danger of missing their in-season trade pickup, Kevin Huerter. The veteran sharpshooter is questionable due to a left adductor strain. The Pistons haven’t had Huerter in the fold throughout the entire second round so far.
Lastly, the Pistons have Caris LeVert as questionable. LeVert missed action just once this postseason. He didn’t play in Game 7 against the Orlando Magic in round one. The veteran has logged playing time in each game this series.
In the Pistons’ latest outing, LeVert played a playoff-high 31 minutes. He shot 10-16 from the field to score 24 points off the bench. The Pistons still dropped the game with a 112-103 loss.
The Pistons are looking to bounce back on Wednesday night for Game 5. The series is tied up at 2-2. The teams will tip at 8 PM ET.
