Pistons' Chaz Lanier: Heading back to NBA

Detroit recalled Lanier from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Saturday.

Lanier has returned to the Pistons following another period on assignment with the G League affiliate, for which he scored 25 points and three rebounds during a 44-minute appearance Saturday. Lanier has played a minor role at the NBA level, especially over the last couple of months, logging just nine minutes of play since Nov. 18.
