Pistons' Andre Drummond: Ruled out for Monday

Drummond (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Thunder, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

Analysis:

Drummond reportedly suffered the sprained right ankle at the end of Saturday's game against the Nuggets. He had X-rays and an MRI performed on the ankle, which both came back clean, so it appears he's not in line for an extended absence. With Drummond out Monday, Aron Baynes is expected to slide into the starting lineup and take on the bulk of the minutes at center, with Boban Marjanovic covering the remaining playing time at the position. Drummond will turn his attention toward returning to action Wednesday against the Knicks.
