The Pistons have received an extension of 6 p.m. ET on Monday to examine Motiejunas' (back) medical chart more closely, David Mayo of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Motiejunas hasn't played in a game since Dec. 31, with his sore back still plaguing him. The Pistons didn't believe Motiejunas' back issue would be quite this problematic when they acquired him from the Rockets on Thursday, so the team will do its due diligence to ensure the ailing forward can justify a first-round pick.
