Pistons' Gbinije Out Of Summer League With Sprained Ankle
AUBURN HILLS (AP) — Detroit Pistons rookie Michael Gbinije will miss the rest of summer league with a sprained right ankle.
Gbinije, a 6-foot-7 guard drafted in the second round last month by the Pistons, was hoping to play in the Olympics for Nigeria. It's not clear how this injury might affect those plans; a spokesman for the Pistons said Monday the only thing that's been determined is that Gbinije will miss the remainder of the Orlando summer league.
Gbinije averaged 17.5 points a game as a senior at Syracuse and helped the Orange to a Final Four appearance this year.
