Detroit Pistons injuries
The Detroit Pistons continue to miss two critical pieces:
1. Isaiah Stewart (Center)

The Knicks enter Game 6 with a clean bill of health. Their deep bench and rotational flexibility have been major advantages in the series, allowing them to manage fatigue effectively. Role players have stepped up consistently, which could prove vital as starters log heavy minutes.
What to expect in Pistons vs Knicks Game 6
With Isaiah Stewart still sidelined, the Pistons will rely heavily on their remaining starters and bench contributors to match the Knicks’ depth. Detroit’s third-quarter execution in Game 5—a rare bright spot—will need to repeat itself. Meanwhile, the Knicks must rediscover their closing ability to avoid a winner-take-all Game 7.
