Bobi Klintman will miss the start of the season due to a calf injury he sustained a couple of weeks ago. Initially considered day-to-day, he has not practiced or played since missing the team's open practice before the preseason opener. His absence throughout the preseason complicates his ability to earn minutes once he returns, making it challenging for him to establish a solid case for playing time. The Pistons are intrigued by Klintman's potential, but it may be a while before he sees action beyond his Summer League appearances in July.
