Delon Wright to miss significant time?
James Edwards III: Per Pistons, Delon Wright will not return with a strained right groin. If he misses some games, Detroit is in trouble. Wright has played really well for a good stretch here.
In the fourth quarter, Wright winced after knocking down his fourth triple of the night. The team soon announced he suffered a right groin strain and would not return for the game. It was a noncontact injury, and it was unclear exactly when he tweaked it.
Omari Sanfoka II: Dwane Casey on Delon Wright’s injury: “He said he didn’t remember how he did it, that was the scary part. He just got back in transition and felt it.” They’ll see how he feels tomorrow
The Pistons built a 25-point lead by the 2:36 mark of the second quarter but fell apart in the second half. The Bulls spoiled Grant’s career-high 43 points to pull off a comeback 105-102 win at United Center. Coby White and rookie Patrick Williams hit back-to-back 3s with 1:01 and 29 seconds left, respectively, to prevent the Pistons from getting a chance to retake the lead. Delon Wright missed the game-tying 3 at the buzzer from straight on, hitting the front rim. “As professionals you hope they go to the locker room, they regroup, they realize there’s going to be some changes made,” said Bulls coach Billy Donovan, who benched some of his young players to start the second half. “When my number’s called, I have to be ready and prepared, and I thought those guys did that.”
