When Rob Murphy was hired as the president and general manager of the Motor City Cruise in March of 2021, he had a lot of work to do to get the Detroit Pistons‘ new G League team off of the ground. In some ways, literally. The team’s new arena, Wayne State Fieldhouse — shared with
As the NBA season winds down to its final games, the Pistons fan base is becoming splintered on how they’re wrapping up the season. One side wants to see a strong finish, and the other wants to lose the remaining games by as many points as possible. The latter group is focused on finishing in

The NBA regular season is now in its final week and ends Sunday, so teams are either jockeying for playoff or lottery positioning, whether they admit the latter or not. The Detroit Pistons have run their postseason winless streak to 14 years, but hope is bountiful and the vibes are improving, thanks to the rise of rookie sensation Cade Cunningham.
Injuries continue to pile up for the Detroit Pistons, but it didn’t stop them from winning their third straight game on Sunday.
