The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow, so fans of the Detroit Pistons will have one eye on social media waiting for updates.

But there is still a game tonight, as the Pistons tip off a six-game road trip against the Sacramento Kings.

Several teams have inquired about Bojan Bogdanovic, but the Pistons have continued to hold their ground, though there is a debate whether keeping him would be smart or is just a team trying desperately to win enough games not to be the worst ever.

The trade deadline is going to loom over this game, as the Pistons try not to lose their 4th straight, and you have to wonder how much it will affect the players who might not be on the team by the end of the week, not that it will matter, as Detroit could be shorthanded in this one.

Pistons injuries vs. Kings: Is Bojan Bogdanovic playing?

Bojan Bogdanovic has been listed as questionable for tonight's 10:00 PM ET (I hate West Coast games) against the Kings.

This immediately raised red flags with some fans, who think this might be a sign he is going to be traded before Thursday's deadline. I don't think that is the case, as he's been battling this calf issue all season and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said it was unlikely Bogdanovic would be moved in a recent podcast.

Cade Cunningham is also listed as questionable with a sore knee. We have to hope the team didn't bring him back too fast from his injury in an ill-fated attempt to win a few more games in a lost season, as Cade has been back and forth off the injury list since originally returning and hasn't looked quite like the same guy who was playing very well in the 25 games before getting hurt.

Fans waiting for a big Woj bomb tonight or tomorrow are probably going to be disappointed, but it is likely the Pistons make some kind of move around the fringes by trading players like Killian Hayes and possibly Alec Burks.

We only have one more day to wait before we can start talking about the Summer and the "wait until next year" propaganda campaign from the front office begins in earnest.
