DETROIT -- Pistons guard Duncan Robinson will miss Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals Wednesday night 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 will start in Robinson's place.
Detroit enters a pivotal Game 5 without its best 3-point shooter, but the Pistons will have guard Kevin Huerter available for the first time during this series. Huerter had not played since Game 4 of the first round against Orlando with a strained left adductor.
The series is tied at 2-2.
