Cade Cunningham, who has averaged just over 27 points per game this season and made a total of 109 assists, has missed the last two games due to a hip injury.
Swedish Bobi Klintman barely got any playing time and was noted for two points.
The game against Philadelphia was part of the NBA Cup, where Detroit now tops its group after two wins. In the league, there have now been nine straight wins, which is Detroit's longest winning streak since 2008, when they reached ten straight.
