Detroit — What’s wrong with Saddiq Bey? It’s been one of the lingering questions in the Pistons’ miserable season so far. After all, wasn’t Bey supposed to make another progressive jump from his All-Rookie first-team selection last season? That’s not how basketball works — not for everybody, at least. It’s similar to some followers who

Brian Mahoney |  Associated Press New York — Stephen Curry has shot his way to the top of the NBA record book for 3-pointers. Curry hit his 2,974th 3-pointer Tuesday night in the first quarter of the Golden State Warriors’ game against the New York Knicks, breaking the record set by Ray Allen. Curry hit the

Detroit — The scene was something akin to a superhero coming to the rescue: Clark Kent jumping in the phone booth to change into Superman, or maybe Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man when he’s most needed. The Pistons were in overtime last week against the Washington Wizards, and Cunningham, who had pedestrian production in regulation, turned

Detroit  — COVID concerns have led to the first game postponements in the NBA. The NBA is postponing Tuesday’s matchup between the Pistons and Chicago Bulls, the league announced Monday afternoon. The Bulls have been dealing with a slew of players in health and safety protocols, and apparently, the Bulls would have had trouble fielding a team with

Detroit — Tuesday’s matchup between the Pistons and Chicago Bulls looks to be in jeopardy. The Bulls are dealing with COVID concerns on their roster, and if they can’t field a team with a minimum of eight available players, the game could be postponed. The Bulls have 10 players in health and safety protocols, after Zach

Detroit — In their first game the Pistons announced that Jerami Grant will miss at least six weeks because of a thumb injury, they were looking for who would replace the production from their leading scorer. The answer turned out to not be one person; instead, it was a group effort, with a big hand

Detroit — At first glance, it looked to be a fairly innocuous play. In Friday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, Pistons forward Jerami Grant lost his dribble and in going for the loose ball, he landed on his right (shooting) thumb. Initially, Grant grimaced a bit, then he pulled it closer to his body,

In a season that already has been difficult for the Pistons, the news isn’t getting any better — and it may not get better for a while. Jerami Grant, the team’s leading scorer, has a UCL ligament sprain in his right (shooting) thumb and he will be sidelined until he is re-evaluated in six weeks, the

In a season that already has been difficult for the Pistons, the news isn’t getting any better. Forward Jerami Grant, the team’s leading scorer, has torn ligaments in his right thumb and will be sidelined indefinitely, a league source with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Detroit News. Grant suffered the injury in the

New Orleans — For the second time in a week, the Pistons had a solid chance against a struggling team with a losing record. In each game, they had a double-digit lead, only to see it evaporate. The result was another bad performance to another sub-.500 team, as the New Orleans Pelicans rallied in the

New Orleans — There was a stark difference in a two-game span for the Pistons in getting to the free-throw line. Against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday, they had a season-low six attempts (and five makes). The Pistons flipped the script on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards, with season highs, going 29-of-35. The momentum

Detroit — In two of the Pistons’ first three possessions against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Killian Hayes drove to the basket, getting an advantage on his defender. He missed the first short jumper, but the second-year guard made a 16-footer, for the Pistons’ first basket of the game. It was a good beginning to

Detroit — When it came down to crunch time, the numbers didn’t matter for Cade Cunningham. He had started the game 4-of-16 going into the overtime. Then he clicked it into another gear. Cunningham scored the Pistons’ last eight points of the extra period — all on drives to the rim — and the last

Detroit — The Pistons looked to be on their way to ending their eight-game losing streak, but somewhere in the second half, things got away from them. The Oklahoma City Thunder, also on an eight-game skid, erased the deficit and steamed ahead for a win. It’s just another setback in a tough season for the

Detroit — During Jerami Grant’s first season with the Pistons, he was just trying to find his legs. Just trying to find an identity on the court and how he would fit with a new team after signing a three-year contract worth $60 million. It’s also about finding a fit with a new city and

Detroit — The Pistons are a different team when their shots are falling and they’re taking care of the ball. They’re pretty much the same team that they’ve shown all season when they turn the ball over and don’t shoot well. Those two extremes were the story of an encouraging first half, then a flip-the-script

Rod Beard |  The Detroit News Detroit — The Pistons honored the victims of the Oxford High School shooting by wearing special T-shirts during their pregame warmups on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena. In their first home game since last week’s school shooting, each of the Pistons players donned a white shirt with the high

The Pistons finished their disappointing western road trip with another close, but not-so-close loss in Phoenix. Their eighth-straight defeat was another exhibit in the difference between good teams and rebuilding teams in the NBA Of the eight losses, seven came against teams with a record of .500 or better. Each of the Pistons’ four victories

By Steve Kornacki |  Special to The Detroit News The Detroit Pistons just completed a five-game road trip with the worst record in the NBA at 4-18 and an eight-game losing streak. They rank last in field goal shooting percentage (.407), 3-point shooting (.299) and rebounding average (42.4). Detroit is 29th in points (98.9), 28th in assists (21.3)

By Steve Kornacki |  Special to The Detroit News The Detroit Pistons aren’t in the market for moral victories, but that’s what they got Thursday night against the Suns — who came out on top on the scoreboard, 114-103, in Phoenix. Detroit staged a comeback against the league’s winningest team before running out of offense in the
