Pistons' Tosan Evbuomwan: Headed to bench

Evbuomwan will come off the bench for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Evbuomwan had started Detroit's last two contests, averaging 12.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per game while shooting 50 percent from the field. He'll cede his spot on the top unit to Chimezie Metu, though Evbuomwan may not be in line for a dramatic reduction in minutes with all of Cade Cunningham (ankle), Jalen Duren (back), Simone Fontecchio (toe), Taj Gibson (hamstring), Quentin Grimes (knee), Isaiah Stewart (hamstring), Ausar Thompson (illness) and Stanley Umude (ankle) sitting out for Detroit.
