CHICAGO — Dwane Casey is taking a new job after five years as head coach of the Detroit Pistons. His new path will keep him with the organization, though: Casey is joining the Pistons’ front office. He broke his own news Sunday at United Center, after the Pistons concluded the season with a 103-81 loss

CHICAGO — Dwane Casey stepped down as head coach of the Detroit Pistons right after their season finale Sunday. Troy Weaver will hire a new coach for the first time since he was hired as general manager in 2020. The Pistons allowed Casey to make his own decision on his future, and Casey will join

CHICAGO — With three minutes remaining in Sunday’s third quarter, the Chicago Bulls waved the white flag. Zach LaVine and Patrick Beverley substituted out of the game, joining the rest of the starters. With their play-in berth already secured, it was time for them to wind down. The Bulls’ bench unit outscored the Detroit Pistons’

The best little man to ever play basketball started scuffling again last week. On the court, Isiah Thomas never ran away from a fight, and he has the scars to prove it. Off the court, well, don’t let anyone blast on him — or his Bad Boy Detroit Pistons. Charles Oakley tried that last week

INDIANAPOLIS — A hot first half allowed the Detroit Pistons to leave Gainbridge Fieldhouse with a win and avoid tying history. The Pistons defeated the Indiana Pacers, 122-115, to snap an 11-game winning streak and improve to 17-64 overall. They will now finish with ony the second-worst record in franchise history, avoiding the franchise-worst mark

When Troy Weaver arrived as general manager in Detroit three years ago, he brought a sledgehammer with him. His first two years were defined by the flurry of moves he made to erase the Detroit Pistons of old. Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose are gone, as are their previous cohort of young players. There are

[embedded content] Yeah, yeah, the Detroit Pistons have lost 21 of their last 22 games. They’ve got the worst record in the NBA. They’ve got two games left and if they lose both, they’ll tie for the worst record in franchise history. All of this happened after the team’s general manager, Troy Weaver, declared his

In their final home game of the season, the Detroit Pistons couldn’t keep pace with a Brooklyn Nets team competing for playoff position. The Nets started and ended the game the same way — hot — and left Little Caesars Arena with a 123-108 win. Brooklyn ended the first quarter with a 29-9 run to

In a season largely defined by what they weren’t able to accomplish, the 16-63 Detroit Pistons have still found ways to be intriguing. Their rookie duo — Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren — is a big reason why. Ivey and Duren have both met, and in some instances, exceeded expectations. Their individual versions of athleticism

For 43 minutes, the Detroit Pistons were resilient. They closed two double digit deficits — a 17-point gap in the second quarter, and a 12-point spread in the third. They moved the ball and hit timely 3-pointers. But they couldn’t close out the win. The Miami Heat, in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver “apologizes” for a season chock full of Trauma for Wembanyama. Weaver penned a short letter to fans posted Monday to Pistons.com, acknowledging the dreadful performance of his team this season, and affirming his belief in his “restoration” and its position this offseason. That position is of course a 14%

We won’t know the answer until at least around 8 p.m. on May 16. The question may not even apply at that point. Or we might have to wait until June 22. But until then, it’s primed to be the biggest debate on the 2023 NBA draft. If the Detroit Pistons end up with the

The Detroit Pistons went scoreless for the first four minutes of the second quarter, their first field goal falling at the 8:25 mark, when Killian Hayes knocked down a turnaround midrange jumper in the lane. Their next field goal came at the 3:09 mark, courtesy of a James Wiseman jumper. Detroit’s ice-cold, mistake-laden second period

I was browsing around the internet moments after the laughably bad Detroit Tigers avoided being no-hit, when a Victor Wembanyama highlight graced the timeline on Twitter. “Wait, what the heck did I just watch?” I thought to myself. So I watched the 13-second clip again. And again. And found another angle. And watched that again.

HOUSTON — In late September, Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver declared the franchise had finally reached “ground zero.” The bad contracts were off the books, the roster was stocked with young talent and veteran leadership and the franchise was prepared to take a step forward after several years of work. Six months later —

HOUSTON — It’ll be a marquee weekend for basketball for Houston, as the city is hosting this year’s men’s basketball Final Four. But the weekend tipped off with a basketball game on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets own the NBA’s two worst records, and faced off Friday night.
