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
Tony Garcia | Detroit Free Press Gene Shue, one of the original point guards for the Detroit Pistons, died Monday. He was 90. Shue, whose NBA playing and coaching career spanned four decades, spent six years in the Pistons organization — starting in the 1956-57 season when the team was still in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The franchise
One of the first stars in Detroit Pistons history has died. Gene Shue, who moved with Fort Wayne to Detroit in the 1950s, made five All-Star teams with the Pistons and was a member of the franchise’s 50th-anniversary all-time team, died at the age of 90, the NBA confirmed Monday. Shue spent more than 40

Who’s expendable, who’s invaluable, who’s at the top of the draft, who’s in the starting lineup, we answer them all. Thank you to everyone who
With the start of the playoffs just a few days away, it’s time to hand out some awards for the 2021-22 NBA season. Amazingly, we are less than two weeks away from the end of the NBA season, which means it’s time to get to work on selecting 2021-22 award winners. I, of course, do
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. The Pistons defeated the Indiana Pacers, 121-117, behind a 31-point performance from Saddiq Bey. Detroit was without Cade Cunningham (right hip soreness) and Cory Joseph (left lumbar spine strain); they joined Jerami Grant, Marvin
We hear from Dwane Casey after his #Pistons knock down 21 3-pointers while winning their third straight. #ItsMillerTime
We hear from Saddiq Bey after he scores 31 points in 23 minutes, helping lift the #Pistons over the Pacers 121-117 Sunday. #DetroitBasketball
In the first half, Saddiq Bey looked like he was heading for another 50-point game. It didn’t quite end up that way, but Bey had an impressive performance with 20 of his 31 points in the first quarter. The piecemeal reserve unit held things together, pulled ahead in the fourth quarter and held on for
If someone said at the beginning of the season that Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and Braxton Key would be getting playing time in the final weeks of the season, it would have been a hot take. Cade Cunningham, yes. That would be an assumption for the No. 1 overall pick. The Pistons are hurtling
Detroit — The Pistons are doing a little roster tinkering before the end of the season. They signed guard Carsen Edwards, the team announced Sunday afternoon. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, it’s a two-year deal. The Pistons also plan to waive forward Chris Smith, who is on a two-way contract, and sign forward Braxton
A series of Detroit Pistons roster transactions took place Sunday. The Pistons have signed Carsen Edwards, the 33rd pick of the 2019 NBA draft who spent this season in the G League, to a two-year deal. And after a strong showing during a 10-day contract, the Pistons signed forward Braxton Key to a two-way contract,
The Detroit Pistons appear solidly in the third spot among the league’s worst records, but if there was ever a game that it would be beneficial to lose, it’s today’s midday tilt against the Indiana Pacers. Courtesy of two consecutive wins, the Pistons are 22-56, two games back from the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets
I have done a few breakdowns this year on what Isaiah Stewart brings, or could bring, on the offensive end for the Detroit Pistons. I did spotlight his defense a bit in a combined look with Killian Hayes. Now, though, it’s time to shine the full light on how good Stew is on the defensive
John Beilein keeps a small, black notebook with “Detroit Pistons” emblazoned on the front. When it’s not in his hand, it’s in his back pocket. Within it are notes from every game the Pistons have played this season. After their loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, his book only had a couple of blank
From two new cannabis lines by former Detroit Pistons players to a “fast-acting” gummy, Michigan’s marijuana industry continues to grow and evolve as the state’s recreational industry surpasses two full years in existence. The recreational industry saw $128 million in sales in February, according to Michigan’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency, and agency projections for 2022 show recreational
Steve Kornacki | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — Pistons forward Saddiq Bey showed that he’s capable of becoming more than good this season. He could become great, and that was clearly on display March 17, when he scored 51 points in Orlando. Detroit coach Dwane Casey was asked how that performance affected how Bey
Jerry Green | Special to The Detroit News There were just two of us in the car, two young guys starting out with high ambitions. Dick Vitale had no wheels, so he hitched a ride with an ink-stained wretch. We were headed from Calihan Hall on the University of Detroit campus to Catholic Central High
