Donovan Mitchell - Clear of Friday injury reportMitchell (groin) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
ImpactMitchell's absence due to groin soreness was a little concerning after he missed a chunk of time in January because of the issue. However, the star guard is back in the fold after missing just one game, and he should resume his usual duties in the backcourt alongside Darius Garland (thumb), who will also return from a one-game absence.

James Wiseman - Set to start for DetroitWiseman, who was acquired from the Warriors earlier Thursday, is expected to step in as the Pistons' starting center, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactWiseman struggled to find playing time with the Warriors after returning from an ankle injury in late January, but he should have a chance to log more meaningful minutes during his time with the Pistons. Head coach Dwane Casey hasn't formally confirmed that Wiseman will overtake Jalen Duren as the team's starting center, and even if he does, the two big men could still split minutes. The Pistons' plans for Wiseman and Duren won't become clear until both are available to play. Detroit returns to action Friday in the Spurs, but Wiseman's status for that contest isn't yet known.
