Ellington will be held out of Thursday's game against the Spurs, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ellington has played less than 20 minutes in three of the last five games, so he's in need of a rest night as the tanking Pistons play on the second half of a back-to-back set. Mason Plumlee, Jerami Grant and Cory Joseph will also be rested Thursday night.
