The coach is quarantining. So is the goalie. So are an assistant coach and three other players. For now, the Detroit Red Wings will keep playing — they were scheduled to host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Though their game against the Avalanche Monday has been postponed.

Detroit — On a nightly basis, Isaiah Stewart gives up size to almost every opposing starting center. At 6-foot-8, he doesn’t have ideal height, but he’s learning how to make up for the difference by using his strength and positioning to his advantage.

They also lack depth, thanks to tens of millions of dead money on the books, most notably Blake Griffin’s bought-out contract. Those are just a few of the reasons why the Pistons are mired in one of the longest losing
OK, losing is all well and good when a top draft pick is on the top of the to-do list, but enough is enough. The Detroit Pistons need to win a game. Thirteen consecutive losses is excessive. The team needs to win a game, and its best shot anytime in the near future is against

Detroit — It’s a rise-and-shine day for the Pistons and Houston Rockets. Saturday is the first of two games this season with a noon tipoff time, which will take some adjustment from the team and players from a logistical standpoint, as well as with mental and physical preparation.

The Detroit Pistons’ 122-113 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night in Indianapolis brought them to the brink of history, though — like so much in this season — not in a good way.

The Detroit Pistons finally got a long-awaited breakout game from struggling forward Saddiq Bey, and for a while, it seemed like the team would have enough to break their 12-game losing streak. Of course, this is the Pistons, and a team that is no stranger to coughing up double-digit leads did it again and was

It’s why few, if any, of Bey’s teammates and coaches expressed serious concern about his shooting slump through most of this season. Bey’s percentages have declined across the board after a strong first
Maybe you’ve seen the numbers. The shooting percentages and point, rebound and assist averages you thought you’d see from the Detroit Pistons’ 2021 No. 1 overall pick. Or maybe you haven’t.

Indianapolis — The Pistons had a chance to stop their 12-game losing streak with another victory over the Indiana Pacers. Detroit’s last win was Nov. 17 against Indianapolis at Little Caesars Arena.
