How Detroit Pistons showed best performance of playoffs in Game 6 vs Cavs
We break down and react to the Detroit Pistons’ 115-94 win in Game 6 over Cleveland Cavaliers, May 15, 2026, at Rocket Arena, and set up Game 7.
The Detroit Pistons may still be without a starter when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, May 17, in a critical Game 7.
Duncan Robinson was listed as questionable on the Pistons injury report released Saturday evening with lower back soreness. Robinson returned from a one-game absence due to lower back soreness in the Pistons’ 115-94 win in Game 6 on Friday and scored 14 points off of the bench. Robinson had started all 11 playoff games for the Pistons prior to Friday and is a blistering 44.7% on 3s (38 of 85 attempts).
Caris LeVert is still dealing with a right heel contusion and was questionable. He played 29 minutes in Game 6 and finished with eight points, three assists, a steal and a block.
Kevin Huerter also was listed as questionable with a left adductor strain. He returned in Game 5 from a seven-game absence with a left adductor strain and was active for Game 6 but didn’t play. He appeared briefly in Wednesday’s loss and recorded just one assist in 3:22 of action in the first quarter.
Daniss Jenkins got his second playoff start over Robinson during Game 6 Friday and had a strong performance, finishing with 15 points with three assists.
The Pistons tied the series 3-3 following Friday’s 115-94 blowout win on the road, their fourth straight win while facing elimination this postseason.
