Omari Sankofa II: Ron Holland (left knee sprain) is questionable tonight in Utah
The Pistons have downgraded Caris LeVert (bilateral knee soreness) to questionable for Tuesday's game against Sacramento. Ron Holland (left knee sprain) is also questionable.
Omari Sankofa II: Ron Holland is out tonight with left knee soreness, JB said. Will be his first missed game due to injury. Not sure if it’s longterm. “He took a fall last game and the adrenaline was able to carry him through. We’re going to get an image done in Sacramento and see what’s next.”
Brown, who was locked into the game, didn’t immediately notice what happened. When he did, “I was a little bit embarrassed. And then I got mad at myself for being embarrassed at all.” “After a while, it was like, ‘Those dudes should be grateful.’” [A hair product on his head would also leave marks on Detroit Pistons player Ron Holland and Washington Wizards player Kyshawn George in the following days.] “They're lucky that I left my mark on them. I should get a thank you card: You have the residue of a champion on you. You're welcome.'"
Omari Sankofa II: JB on Holland's impact: "It’s unique for a guy his age. A lot of guys his age come into the league searching how they can fit in and be part of it … Ron does all the small things to help you win."

“My mindset coming into the NBA, it was whatever team I go to, they got guys there to score already,” Holland said after Monday’s win. “I’m trying to play right away and I feel like what I do best is making plays and just being able to come to this team and have that mindset, just go in the game and guard, go in the game and make plays, every game it’s just gonna come to me. “That’s what guys have been telling me since I became a Piston and it’s shown. I go out there and get a stop, and somehow in transition that’s when I’m at my best.”
“Coming off the bench for me, it allows me to slow the game down and being able to watch where I can really shine and being able to see what guys’ tendencies are, and to go in and make an immediate impact,” Holland said. “I definitely love coming off the bench with this team because one, it’s gonna be nights like this where we start off kinda slow. That’s what the bench mob is for, we get in and bring that spark and the energy we need.”
Omari Sankofa II: FINAL: Pistons 99, Hawks 98. Jenkins also missed both free throws, but the clock ran out. Extremely unclutch finish, but a win is a win. Duren: 21 pts, 11 rebounds Cunningham: 18 pts, 8 rebs, 8 assts, 5 sals, 2 blks Holland: 17 pts, 6 rebs, 2 stls
Omari Sankofa II: Holland: "The way we hang our hats on defense says a lot about us. When we’re really up and want to guard from the first quarter to the end, we’re really hard to deal with … the fact that we’re able to pull off wins like this shows the growth we’ve had over the last year."
