Isaiah Stewart will miss Game 2 with knee inflamation
The Detroit Pistons will look to rebound after a disappointing collapse in Game 1 against the New York Knicks . Detroit led by six in the fourth but surrendered a 21-point run to let the Knicks take control. To make matters worse, Detroit’s best rim protector, Isaiah Stewart, will miss Game 2 with right knee inflammation. Stewart sitting immediately preceded the big run from the Knicks, and now the Pistons will have to figure out how to survive for 48 minutes with just Jalen Duren and Paul Reed down low. The Pistons also need to determine how to get Cade Cunningham free and into the flow of the offense. He struggled with the Knicks’ aggressive trapping and doubling scheme in Game 1.
