Description: Detroit guard Brandon Knight was able to practice on Saturday despite breaking his nose and spraining his ankle Friday against Toronto. He'll be a game-time decision Sunday versus the Bulls. SOURCE: Dave Pemberton, Oakland Press | Insight: It's admirable that Knight is trying to play, but there's really no point to it. The Pistons were eliminated from playoff contention months ago and at this point, playing on that bad ankle will probably only worsen Knight's condition. If Knight does play, he'll likely wear a mask to cover up his broken nose. | | |
