The Detroit Pistons announced Thursday the team will broadcast five of its remaining nine games on TV-20 Detroit (WMYD), providing access to fans who do not have access to a cable or streaming package that includes Bally Sports Detroit. It will be the first time the Pistons are being broadcast on an over-the-air channel since

The season is over for the Detroit Pistons, which is nothing new. But with less than 10 games left in a historically bad 2023-24 campaign, it’s time to dive deep into this year’s NBA Draft prospects. With a 12-61 record, the Pistons almost certainly secured the top odds in the draft lottery. The bad news

You ever wondered what it’d be like if the Motor City Cruise played against an NBA team? Monday night was a good example. The Detroit Pistons, without four of their starters, rolled into Madison Square Garden on a six-game losing streak. It wasn’t long ago that the Pistons had won two-straight games, which isn’t a

Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores’ Platinum Equity LLC and Securus Technologies LLC are among the parties named in lawsuits against county jails and telecom firms in Michigan. The lawsuits claim St. Clair County and Genessee County were “part of a quid pro quo kickback scheme” with telecom providers to charge families “exorbitant rates to communicate

The Detroit Pistons’ mantra to end the season has been “run through the tape,” but significant injuries mean it is likely to limp to the finish line. The latest setbacks include season-ending medical issues for two starters—rookie Ausar Thompson and big man Isaiah Stewart. The team announced that Thompson is sidelined for the rest of

The Detroit Pistons signed stretch forward Chimezie Metu to a 10-day contract, the team announced today. He began the season with the Phoenix Suns, appearing in 37 games, including five starts, averaging five points and three rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game on the year. At February’s trade deadline, he was sent to the Memphis

The Detroit Pistons may have been without Cade Cunningham and Simone Fontecchio in Boston against the Celtics on Monday night, but there were reasons to be excited. What would Jaden Ivey look like as The Man in the starting lineup? Would Marcus Sasser do well with an expanded role? Does Jalen Duren’s recent offensive success

An updated look at my draft board is here, although not much has changed at the top where the Detroit Pistons will likely be making their first selection. There used to be just one collegiate player in the top three but that’s now zero after Alexandre Sarr has overtaken Cody Williams. Kentucky is the team

Winning teams make winning plays and winning decisions. On a night when the Detroit Pistons’ 2004 title team was celebrated, Detroit’s franchise player, Cade Cunningham, did not make the winning play. It resulted in the Pistons falling to the Miami Heat 104-101 on a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Bam Adebayo. The Pistons were down five until

The Detroit Pistons are converting veteran big man Taj Gibson’s 10-day contract into a rest-of-season deal. Gibson has not seen the floor since signing his original 10-day contract with Detroit, but he has served as a veteran mentor to the team’s young big men, most specifically James Wiseman. Whether it’s coincidence or not, Wiseman has

The Pistons enter this game winners of 3 of their last 4 games, which is shocking to type out with how this season has gone. To make it even more shocking, the Pistons have won their last 2 games while the Heat enter as losers of their last 4 games. It truly is amazing what

When the Motor City Cruise acquired Nate Knight in December after he started the season playing with the Maine Celtics, he was reunited with a former coach. After four years of dominating at William & Mary, the Syracuse native began his professional career on a two-way contract with the Atlanta Hawks during the shortened 2020-21

The Detroit Pistons survived 22 turnovers and the final quarter-plus with Cade Cunningham on the bench in a 113-104 win over an injury-depleted Toronto Raptors team. The victory was Detroit’s third in four games. I’d put the number of Pistons who had a good game on the night at roughly three, and that doesn’t include

Both of these teams are not very good as evidenced by their respective records. However, both of these teams have been playing some better basketball since the trade deadline. For the Pistons, it was a complete roster overhaul at the trade deadline. For the Hornets, it was a couple of trades of veterans with an

Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver was captured on cell phone video having a heated exchange with a fan at Little Caesars Arena, including what appears to be him saying something like, “You’re lucky I don’t beat your ass.” The audio quality, however, is not great. The altercation seems to have occurred during Saturday’s 142-124 loss

The Dallas Mavericks don’t have to go all out to beat the Detroit Pistons, but the Mavs certainly have plenty of motivation not to slip up tonight against one of the league’s worst teams. For one, the Mavs can’t really afford many losses. They currently sit at eighth in the Western Conference, and sit two
