Pistons' Delon Wright drops season-high 28 points with 7 boards, 9 assists
Detroit Pistons point guard Delon Wright scored a season-high 28 points (8-of-12 field goals, 8-of-9 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 4 3-pointers in 36 minutes of a 119-104 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.
What It Means:
Wright's previous season-high was 19 points and he also set season-bests in made free throws and 3-pointers. He's logged 35-plus minutes in both games since Derrick Rose (knee) went down and Wright may have earned more minutes even once Rose returns. The Pistons will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday in their next outing.
