The Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors will face off Wednesday, February 11, with both teams entering the game carrying a mix of injuries and G League assignments.
Detroit will be without Ronald Holland II due to personal reasons, while Isaac Jones and Wendell Moore Jr. remain in the G League on two-way contracts. The Pistons’ top scorers, including Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, are expected to play, keeping Detroit’s high-powered offense intact.
