David Mayo of MLive:

"Meeks, who suffered a lower-back stress reaction early in preseason that was diagnosed on Oct. 14, did some sideline-to-sideline jogging as part of the Pistons’ morning shootaround before Friday’s 104-88 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.“It felt fine, so we’ll see,” Meeks said. “It’s all about how I feel and how I react.”"

This is a step in the right direction for Jodie Meeks, but I wouldn’t get too excited. He’s still not expected to help until after New Year’s, so we’ll have to keep riding it out with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leading the team in minutes.
