Lough signed with the Tigers on a minor league contract, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports. The journeyman outfielder spent a good chunk of time at the major league level with the Phillies last season, although he was ultimately released in August due to posting a sub-.700 OPS both in the majors and with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Although Detroit's center field situation is still pretty murky, it would take an uncharacteristically strong spring from Lough for him to supplant Tyler Collins, Mikie Mahtook, or JaCoby Jones for big-league playing time.

Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard is the total package and can beat teams so many different ways. He’s a gritty defender, can drain a stepback jumper with ease and can also drive the lane. Victor Oladipo was tasked with defending him in Tuesday night’s game, which isn’t a very fun assignment. Leonard made him look silly on one particular play, with a nasty crossover to shake the Thunder guard. He then finished off the play by going up and under and flipping the ball up and in on a reverse layup, after being fouled. Leonard vs Oladipo is a bit of a mismatch, and Kawhi exploited it on that play.
