08:08 AM ET 02.12 | So much for cutting-edge machines and tactics when it comes to center Andre Drummond's rehab. Try bongos. While other Pistons were getting in some light jogging following this morning's shootaround at the Palace practice facility, Drummond sat there beating on a bongo ... badly. "This is my rehab," Drummond said as he walked away, carrying the drum. Drummond is out four to six weeks because of a bad back, and the drum is a way for the Pistons to keep the rookie center engaged and feeling like he's still part of the team. Yeah, there actually is a method to strength-and-conditioning coach Arnie Kander's bongo madness. Playing the drum requires good posture, so it helps the body's core.

Wow, this is almost humiliating. Just let the guy be out watching the team and riding a bike or something. Making him annoy them with a drum also is a bit much, lol.

Maybe it is to create an evironment that makes the player want to be back on the court. Maybe Howard should have to do that. I'm sure it would help LA team chemistry! :)
