The Detroit Pistons are about as shorthanded as a basketball team can be on Wednesday night.

The absences: Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey, Isaiah Stewart and Marcus Sasser.

Cunningham and Duren were late additions to the injury report against the Chicago Bulls.

The Pistons' starters for the night were Javonte Green, Ron Holland, Paul Reed, Duncan Robinson and Daniss Jenkins.

The Bulls were without Josh Giddey, so it was a light night all around.
