AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Pistons rookie Brandon Knight had the best night of his young career on Friday. Less than 24 hours later, he has joined Detroit's lengthy list of injured players.
Knight, who had a career-high 26 points in Friday's win over the Bucks, sustained a broken nose in the first quarter Saturday against New Orleans. Knight was fighting for an offensive rebound when he was hit by teammate Greg Monroe's elbow.
Detroit's PR staff listed Knight as doubtful to return to the game, leaving Rodney Stuckey and Walker D. Russell Jr. as the Pistons' only healthy full-time guards. Damien Wilkins, Austin Daye and Tayshaun Prince, all normally small forwards, will fill in at shooting guard.
