Before the game, the Detroit Pistons had bad news to share — Jaden Ivey will miss at least a month after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure in his right knee.
Their final preseason game — a win at Little Caesars Arena — previewed how they'll adapt to life without the guard. They routed the Washington Wizards , 119-98, on Thursday, Oct. 16, to finish preseason with a 2-2 overall record. They now will get ready for to the regular season, which tips off on the road against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday (8 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit).
