The Detroit Pistons signed center Jeff Ruland to fill the opening caused by an injury to Olden Polynice. Ruland, 34, has played in 13 games in six years. This will be his first appearance in the NBA this season after playing 13 games last season with the Philadelphia 76ers before being sidelined because of an Achilles’ tendon injury. Before that, he had sat out five years after being forced to retire because of an injured left knee.
Polynice is expected to miss four to six weeks after successful surgery to repair a broken bone in his right hand.
