Pistons' Monte Morris: Out another 6-to-8 weeks

The Pistons announced Tuesday that Morris will be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks after receiving additional treatment to address his ongoing right quadricep strain, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Analysis:

The right quad strain has sidelined Morris all season and has spiraled into a more serious issue for the 28-year-old guard than initially anticipated. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection Friday as a form of regenerative muscle treatment to help his healing process, but his recovery timeline has now been extended until January. Even once Morris is healthy, he may have only a small role in the Detroit backcourt rotation waiting for him.
