Pistons' Jon Leuer: Out Saturday with back spasms
Leuer has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to back spasms, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.
Analysis:
This is the first we've heard of the issue, so it's likely that Leuer's back locked up sometime Sunday afternoon. The Wisconsin product has played 31 minutes in each of the last two games, and his absence could result in increased roles for Aron Baynes or Stanley Johnson, while both Tobias Harris and Marcus Morris figure to pick up some extra minutes. Rookie Henry Ellenson, who was recalled from the D-League earlier in the day, could also be a factor.
