Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince was a late scratch on Tuesday night, prompting trade rumors.
The team cited a lower back strain and Jason Maxiell was held out of the game against the Magic as well.
However, Pistons president Joe Dumars shot down speculation and insisted that there are no trades on the horizon.
Charlie Villanueva, who the team signed in July as a free agent, says that the Pistons are still gelling.
"There are opportunities for a lot of guys to step up and contribute with the people that we're missing," Villanueva told the Detroit Free-Press. "We're still figuring out our roles and what everyone can do. It takes some time to get to know everyone's strengths."
