Frank Jackson understands the G League grind. The Detroit Pistons‘ sharpshooter spent brief time with Texas Legends in 2018-19. He experienced the long bus rides, smaller crowds and preparation level necessary to bring that experience up to the NBA. Saben Lee is experiencing that life now. The second-year guard has been a superstar with the Motor City

For three quarters, it appeared the Detroit Pistons would prevail in their first game of the season without Jerami Grant, who will miss at least six weeks with a thumb injury. A monstrous 51-point game by Kevin Durant, and a late surge by the Brooklyn Nets, instead led to the Pistons suffering their 12th-consecutive loss.

The Detroit Pistons were unlikely to make a leap this season. That’s the main thing we should keep in mind as we perform an autopsy on a young team that currently owns the NBA’s worst record. The Pistons are very early in a full rebuild, and the rest of the league hasn’t been as deep

The Detroit Pistons, already thin on depth, just suffered another major injury setback. Jerami Grant will be out indefinitely after suffering a UCL ligament sprain of his right thumb, the team announced Sunday. The injury happened during the first quarter of Friday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, when he bent the thumb while diving on a

The Detroit Pistons, already thin on depth, just suffered another major injury setback. Jerami Grant will be out indefinitely after suffering torn ligaments in his right thumb, a league source confirmed to the Free Press. The injury happened during the first quarter of Friday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, when he bent the thumb while

The Detroit Pistons built a double-digit cushion for the third straight game. And for the third straight game, they fell apart down the stretch, losing for the 11th straight time in what has quickly become a more painful than expected season. The rebuilding Pistons (4-21) are owners of the NBA’s worst record after Friday night’s agonizing 109-93 loss to the

NEW ORLEANS — The Detroit Pistons haven’t had trouble building double-digit leads this week. But they’ve had a lot of trouble holding onto them On Monday, the Oklahoma City Thunder outscored the Pistons 42-22 in the fourth quarter after trailing by 16 in the third quarter. On Wednesday, the Washington Wizards rallied from 14 down

On Wednesday, Hamidou Diallo delivered one of his best games of the season. And he did so while donning a face mask, making him the latest Detroit Pistons player to uphold Rip Hamilton’s legacy in that category. Hamilton famously wore a mask to protect his nose after he broke it twice during the 2003-04 season.

Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey doesn’t have a true big man, a shooting guard with a consistent shot and a second starter who has been in the NBA more than a year and a half – the veterans come off the bench. He has a small forward who showed promise as a spot-up shooter and defender in his

It appeared the Detroit Pistons were heading toward their second-straight collapse on Wednesday night. A late run — and an impressive overtime performance by Cade Cunningham — nearly helped the Pistons snap a nine-game losing streak. But the final moment belonged to Wizards forward and Flint native Kyle Kuzma, who knocked down a game-winning 3

Jerami Grant has been through this before. The Detroit Pistons star was drafted by the “Trust the Process”-era Philadelphia 76ers in 2014 — a team that started the season 0-17. Grant won 28 total games during his first two seasons in the NBA. In his third season, he finally experienced winning. The Sixers traded Grant

Before their game Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Detroit Pistons paid tribute to the victims of last week’s tragic mass shooting at Oxford High School. The Pistons marched onto the court for pregame warmups in Oxford Wildcats T-shirts. John Mason, the team’s longtime PA announcer, gave a dedication and asked for a moment

Cade Cunningham is accustomed to winning. As a high school senior, he was the best player on a stacked Montverde Academy (Florida) team that won all 25 of its games. As a college freshman last year, he led Oklahoma State to a 21-9 record — the team’s best winning percentage since 2013 — and to

Cade Cunningham had a career night, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Detroit Pistons from enduring one of their worst losses of the season. The Pistons led by 18 points in the first half, but fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, 114-103, following a massive fourth-quarter effort by OKC. Cunningham scored a

We’re just past the one-fourth mark of the NBA season, and some Detroit Pistons fans have already begun to look toward the future. It makes sense. The Pistons own the NBA’s worst record at 4-18. Some expected them to make a leap after going 20-52 last season and adding Cade Cunningham. Rebuilds are rarely that

PHOENIX — Dwane Casey often preaches patience with this young Detroit Pistons roster. On Thursday, they faced a team that was where the Pistons currently are not long ago, and saw its patience pay off. During Devin Booker’s rookie season in 2015-16, the Phoenix Suns won 23 games. Twenty-four, 21 and 19-win seasons followed right

PHOENIX — The Detroit Pistons faced the NBA’s hottest team on Thursday. The Phoenix Suns marched in riding a 17-game winning streak. They had an opportunity to set a franchise record by beating the Pistons for an 18th straight win. The Pistons couldn’t complete a comeback win after falling behind by 18 midway through the
