The Detroit Pistons played a deadly combination of sloppy, disinterested and lifeless basketball in a 123-111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in front of a mostly silent home crowd at Little Caesars Arena. The game was not even as close as the final score makes it seems. James Harden had a triple-double within the opening

The Detroit Pistons return home from a five-game road trip to play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time this season. In their initial meeting on Dec. 21, Joel Embiid lead his 76ers to a dominant 113-93 victory over the young Pistons. Luckily for Detroit, Embiid has been listed out for this afternoon’s clash with

Neither the Detroit Pistons nor the San Antonio Spurs bathed themselves in basketball competence, but in the end it was San Antonio that was able to capitalize on more of its opponent’s mistakes and come away with a 121-109 victory. Both teams managed to play down to their competition, and in practice that meant two

The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs are teams on a similar trajectory for this season, which is the bottom of the standings and the best shot at Victor Wembanyama. However, how they have gotten there is completely different. The Spurs started out the season 6-6, and have tanked hard over the last couple months.

There is just more than one month to go before the NBA’s trade deadline, and that means you can expect to see Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic’s name burbling up in trade rumors and reports with increasing frequency. Already one of the hottest names on the trade market, Bogdanovic has done nothing to quell team’s

Detroit Pistons backup center Marvin Bagley had successful surgery on his injured right hand today, the team announced. Surgery was required to repair a fracture of the third and fourth metacarpals in his hand in the team’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. The big man has had various injuries and ailments in

Tonight’s TNT matchups might feature the league’s top two MVP candidates. Per Draft Kings current odds, Luka Doncic leads the pack a +275. Nikola Jokic, meanwhile, is currently sitting at +425 and trails behind Doncic, Giannis and Tatum. However, if you’ve been watching the games closely, the two-time reigning MVP is coming on strong and

Saddiq Bey called game. The Detroit Pistons once again wilted down the stretch, this time against the defending champion Golden State Warriors, and after Klay Thompson erased the Pistons lead, beating Saddiq Bey for a tying three with 2.1 seconds to play, it was up to the Pistons to answer. And Bey was there to

Detroit Pistons forward Saddiq Bey exploded on the NBA scene in his rookie season and looked like one of the steals of the draft. He finished with the third most 3-pointers made by a rookie in NBA history, and likely would have broken the record if not for a pandemic-induced abbreviated season. He played just

The Pistons and Warriors have a lot in common this season. It has nothing to do with record or personnel, but injuries. Just like the Pistons, the Warriors are missing their face of the franchise, Steph Curry, and are dealing with a multitude of injuries to their role players. Granted, the Warriors have a lot

Sometimes, the best players aren’t the most important. Marvin Bagley III is far from the Detroit Pistons best big man, but his presence in the rotation is important. He’s Dwane Casey’s security blanket off the bench, athletic enough to bounce between power forward and center when his number is called. More so, it allows Isaiah

Detroit Pistons reserve big man Marvin Bagley III is expected to miss “extended time” with a right hand injury suffered in last night’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III has sustained a right-hand injury is expected to miss extended time, sources tell ESPN.

Can you call it a revenge game if both sides part amicably? I’m asking for old friend Jerami Grant, who faced the Detroit Pistons for the first time since being traded to the Portland Trail Blazers in the offseason. Grant got his “revenge,” whatever revenge means in this context, against the Pistons to the tune

It’s safe to say Jerami Grant isn’t regretting any of the decisions in his career. He’s gone from second-round pick to sparsely used reserve, to 3-and-d lynchpin, to primary scorer, and now key cog alongside Damian Lillard in Portland that will see Grant secure a $100 million payday with the Blazers or some other organization.

After opening its road trip with a frustrating loss in Chicago to the Bulls on Friday, the Detroit Pistons will continue to move west tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Pistons’ defense was ripped to shreds in the loss, mainly by Zach LaVine, who may have scored the easiest 43 points you’ll see this season.

The Detroit Pistons will be looking for their second consecutive win without two of the key cogs to their most recent victory as Killian Hayes and Hamidou Diallo serve suspensions as a result of the altercation against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Hayes is suspended three games and Diallo one for their roles in the

The NBA League Office has suspended Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes and Orlando Magic big man Mortiz Wagner for multiple games following last night’s second-quarter scuffle at Little Caesars Arena, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Hayes received a 3-game suspension for his left hand blow to the back of Wagner’s head. While, the Magic will

Well, where do y’all want to begin? We could start with the Detroit Pistons’ much — and I mean much — needed win, 121-101, over the Orlando Magic at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday, their first win since December 14 in Charlotte. Nahhhhhh. Let’s start with the fracas at the end of the first half:

There is absolutely no denying the impact that No. 13 overall pick Jalen Duren has made through the first 33 games of his Detroit Pistons career. The 19-year-old is the youngest player in the NBA and has shown everyone why there were reports that Troy Weaver would have considered taking him as high as No.
