Charlie Villanueva will miss games in Houston and Minnesota

Charlie Villanueva will not be returning to action in the immediate future, per Vincent Goodwill of The Detroit News:

"CV will not travel with the Pistons on the road trip to Houston and Minnesota, will rehab here…Bynum didn’t practice, is day to day"

Hopefully this off day along with staying behind on the road trip is productive healing time for Villanueva. We are all familiar with his limits on the court, but much like Ben Gordon, the Pistons need him healthy to at least attempt to rebuild his value and they could certainly use a warm body in the under-manned frontcourt too.
