Pistons' Jerebko out 5-6 months with Achilles tear

Detroit Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko will miss five to six months with a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered during Tuesday's preseason game in Miami.

Jerebko is scheduled to have surgery Friday to fix the injury, which was confirmed through an MRI exam Wednesday. He averaged 9.3 points and 6.0 rebounds for the Pistons in 80 games (73 starts) last season, his rookie year.

The Pistons have also announced that rookie guard Terrico White, a second- round draft pick, broke a bone in his right foot during Tuesday's contest. White is also headed for surgery Friday, and a timeline for his return will be set after the procedure.
