The Detroit Pistons will try to end their NBA record 28-game losing streak without injured center Isaiah Stewart.
The team said Friday in a statement that Stewart was expected to be out for 10-to-14 days to “allow for rest and rehabilitation” of a sprain to the big toe on his right foot.
The 6-foot-8 Stewart was injured in a loss to Philadelphia two weeks ago. He missed the team’s latest loss, 128-122 in overtime to Boston, on Thursday night.
Stewart has played in 28 games this season, averaging 10.4 points and seven rebounds a game.
