Luke Kennard will miss the next two weeks with bilateral knee tendinitis.

Kennard will begin a treatment regimen and be re-evaluated for a return to action on January 7.

Kennard is averaging 15.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 32.9 minutes per game this season for the Detroit Pistons.

Christian Wood confirmed a left knee bone bruise. 

Wood will receive treatment and be re-evaluated in one week.

Pascal Siakam was the 27th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft and has evolved from role player to key rotation player to legitimate superstar this season. 

“I didn’t see that he would be a superstar and he is a superstar in our league right now,” Dwane Casey said before Wednesday’s game against the Raptors. “He started 38 games in his first year and he was for us like (Pistons guard) Bruce Brown. He was that rabbit that comes out and guards the best player. Shooting was his last resort; it was his last offensive option.”

Casey also touted Siakam's work ethic.

“For those kids out there that want to see how good you can be, go watch him in the summertime. He is not worried about load management; the kid worked three times a day,” Casey said. “He and Rico (Hines) are out there in Los Angeles and they did a great job of developing his offensive game — and it’s on him. He did that all himself to develop his individual game, and his mom and dad did a great job with the DNA with the elite motor he has.

 “I saw that he was going to be a good starter in our league and the trade for Serge (Ibaka) took place, but the rest of it, he did on his own.”
