Pistons' Duncan Robinson out for Game 5; Kevin Huerter returns
The Pistons will be without Duncan Robinson but Kevin Huerter returns from injury for Game 5.
Detroit — The Detroit Pistons will be without one of their key players for Game 5 on Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Duncan Robinson will miss his first postseason game due to low back soreness. While it has not been confirmed how the injury occurred, his absence follows a disappointing performance in which he recorded his worst game of the playoffs during the Pistons' 112-103 loss in Game 4 on Monday.
In 11 playoff games, Robinson has averaged 11. 5 points on 43. 6% shooting from behind the arc.
Amid his absence, Daniss Jenkins will start. "He has been huge for us. He is a guy who carries weight and gravity.
He is a mover. He helps facilitate our offense in so many different ways," coach J. B.
