Lee has been ruled out Saturday against the Pistons with a sore lower back.

Analysis:

He had been on a nice roll, scoring at least 10 points with at least seven rebounds in two straight games. Look for Jared Sullinger and Kelly Olynyk to see extended run Saturday. It is unclear if this will be just a one night absence or if it could force him to miss multiple games. His next chance to play will be Sunday at home against the Knicks.
