DETROIT -- Pistons guard Duncan Robinson sat out Wednesday night's 117-113 overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals with lower back soreness.
Robinson had been in the starting lineup for the first 11 games during the postseason, averaging 11.5 points, 2.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and shooting 44% from 3. He has been the Pistons' best 3-point shooter this season, leading the team with a 41% shooting percentage from beyond the arc on 7.0 attempts per game.
Pistons guard Daniss Jenkins started in Robinson's place and finished with 19 points and three assists.
Kevin Huerter, available for the first time for Detroit during this series, was scoreless in three minutes. Huerter had not played since Game 4 of the first round against Orlando with a strained left adductor.
The Cavs lead the series 3-2.
