Pistons' Taurean Prince played Toronto the day after last season's neck injury, which cost him feeling in his left side until surgery. "My doctor told me if I would have took the wrong hit, I could have been a vegetable." His role is changing too, on offense and defense.
Pistons practice: J.B. Bickerstaff said Taurean Prince looks healthy after his neck injury — "he's moving well, he's shooting it well." John Collins won't be asked to force step-back 3s, but "if he's open, he should shoot it 100 times in a row".
