Pierce (knee) will return to the court against the Pistons on Saturday, The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Pierce sat out Friday's game against the Sixers but his ailing knee apparently feels well enough to jump back on the court Saturday. The extent of the injury is likely minor, so he could take on his normal 33.4 minutes against the Pistons.
