Analysis:
The Pistons were initially hopeful that Meeks could return shortly after the All-Star break, but it sounds like his return will be pushed back at least a couple weeks beyond that, as he hasn't been progressing the way the team anticipated. Meeks' continued absence will force coach Stan Van Gundy to continue handing heavy minutes to starters Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Marcus Morris, as the Pistons lack much other attractive depth on the wing.
