AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — The Pistons say forward Tayshaun Prince (FSY) will be out of the lineup indefinitely due to a small rupture of a disc in his lower back.
The team said Saturday that the injury was confirmed after an MRI exam and evaluation by team doctors this week. The Pistons say Prince will continue to receive treatment for the injury.
Prince had been sidelined since earlier this month with a back injury.
The 6-foot-9 Prince has appeared in three games this season, averaging 12.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
