The Detroit Pistons, similar to the rest of the sports world, have been mired in a COVID-19 outbreak. Nine Pistons players have entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols since Dec. 22, and several assistant coaches and staff members have also tested positive. Now head coach Dwane Casey became the latest member of the organization to

Troy Weaver hasn’t shied away from taking big swings during his first 18 months as general manager. Part of the Detroit Pistons‘ rebuilding strategy has been giving opportunities to former five-star recruits who hadn’t enjoyed much NBA success — such as Frank Jackson and Hamidou Diallo. Sunday’s trade, which saw the Pistons flip Rodney McGruder and

Trade season has officially arrived. The Detroit Pistons made their first move of the season Sunday, sending Rodney McGruder and a 2022 second-round pick to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Bol Bol, a league source confirmed to the Free Press. The 2022 pick is a pick the Pistons acquired from the Brooklyn Nets. TRENDING:

The Detroit Pistons‘ win over the Orlando Magic on Saturday felt like a bookend, of sorts, for the franchise after an eventful few weeks. They’ve had nine players enter health and safety protocols since Dec. 22, and until this past Monday, were relying on eight G League players to fill in the gaps. Six members

The Detroit Pistons have rarely been in the national spotlight this season. They’re one of two teams that have yet to reach double-digit wins, so that’s probably for the best. Casual NBA fans want to watch stars. Local NBA fans want to watch winning basketball. The Pistons offer neither. It makes sense they’ve only played one

With a little over a minute to play in the fourth quarter, Cade Cunningham lobbed the ball to Hamidou Diallo for a one-handed dunk and a would-be dagger. Somehow, the ball didn’t go through the net. They got it right the second time around, though. With 42 seconds left, Cunningham found Diallo cutting to the

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — During their upset of the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, it didn’t appear the Detroit Pistons were feeling any aftereffects from having multiple players in the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Six of the eight players who missed time in the final week of December — Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Trey Lyles, Josh

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — After putting together their best effort of the season in a win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Detroit Pistons have played two of their worst games on the season, starting with Wednesday’s 140-111 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Thursday didn’t go much better. The Memphis Grizzlies built a double-digit lead

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols on Thursday, becoming the ninth player on the roster to do so this season. Jackson had missed Detroit’s previous three games with a lateral sprain in his right ankle, and will now miss additional time. ABOUT LAST NIGHT: Pistons stung,

CHARLOTTE — The Detroit Pistons entered their road game against the Charlotte Hornets with rare momentum. They were coming off of two straight wins — their first winning streak in 10 months — and defeated the Milwaukee Bucks on the road by nine points on Monday. The Pistons caught the Hornets on a hot night.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After getting six players back from health and safety protocols over the weekend, the Detroit Pistons took another step toward normalcy on Tuesday. Isaiah Stewart, who entered protocols Dec. 23 and missed their last five games, joined the team in Charlotte, Pistons coach Dwane Casey said after Tuesday’s practice. His status for Wednesday’s game

MILWAUKEE — Judging solely from their performance against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, one probably wouldn’t have guessed the Detroit Pistons were coming off of a month filled with adversity. They had eight players — including their first overall pick, Cade Cunningham — enter health and safety protocols from Dec. 22 until Dec. 26. A ninth

MILWAUKEE — Saddiq Bey delivered one of the best moments of his young career Saturday night, knocking down a game-winning 3-pointer in overtime to give a depleted Detroit Pistons team a win over the San Antonio Spurs — their second win since Nov. 17. Flanked with a much healthier roster, Bey followed up with the best game

The NBA rescheduled the 11 games it postponed in December due to a league-wide COVID-19 outbreak, and it led to two changes on the Detroit Pistons’ calendar. The Pistons’ road game against the Chicago Bulls, scheduled for Dec. 12, will now be played on Jan. 11. Detroit’s home game on Jan. 12 against the Phoenix

Things have been different for Hamidou Diallo ever since he put on the mask. On Dec. 8, two days after Diallo suffered a face fracture and had to be fitted for a mask, he played a then-season high 29 minutes and scored an energetic 12 points off of the bench in a competitive overtime loss

Happy New Year’s, Detroit Pistons fans. In 2021 they bought out Blake Griffin, traded Derrick Rose, won the lottery and drafted first overall for the first time in 50 years. Cade Cunningham could be the player who eventually brings the Pistons out of their decade-plus-long playoff slump. There’s still a lot of work to do,

The shot was better than the pass. Derrick Walton Jr. was humble when asked about the winning play at the end of Saturday’s home game against the San Antonio Spurs. With 10 seconds remaining in overtime, Walton drove to the basket and passed the ball between the legs of Spurs center Jakob Poeltl, into the hands

The Detroit Pistons have faced a lot of adversity since mid-November. They suffered a 14-game losing streak, lost their best player in Jerami Grant to a thumb injury and then saw most of their rotation — and several staff members — enter the NBA’s health and safety protocols following a COVID-19 outbreak. So the last
