Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said it wasn't a particular play that birthed the injury. "It was something that was developing over his work. Obviously, from coming back but in training camp also, he started to feel something." Bickerstaff said before the Pistons' final preseason game against the Washington Wizards. "We took precautions, and then the medical team did their assessments and those things, and then had to make the decision that ultimately led us to where we are today."

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra may have no choice but to embrace a defensive-first mentality this season after the injury to Tyler Herro. It may not be what Heat fans were hoping for, especially after their offensive struggles last season, but this is what will give the Heat the best shot to keep their head above water in the Eastern Conference until their All-Star guard returns.
