Andre Drummond to play against Suns

What to watch for
"Andre Drummond said he will play tonight for the Detroit Pistons when they face the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center."
Best of all, I’m glad Drummond is OK after a scary-looking injury.
And fear not, tanking supporters. Though Drummond obviously contributes significantly individually, his return will bring back the Pistons’ biggest tanking weapon of all: the Josh Smith–Greg Monroe-Drummond lineups.
A bigger tanking concern lies with the Suns, who’ve lost four of seven, including a home loss to Cleveland. As their playoff chances dwindle, might they be losing focus? I sure hope not, and considering they’ve won three of their last four following a three-game losing streak, I think they’re getting back on track.
