Detroit — Sometimes, it’s hard enough as a young player to get on a team and to learn the system during a season, with all the things going on. It’s even more difficult for Pistons forward Tyler Cook, who is on a 10-day contract and is trying to make his way toward a longer tryout

Detroit — The Pistons are 13-33 and the rebuilding season keeps slogging on. There are questions about where the team is going, but for the first time in a long time, there’s a very clear path forward, and several young players to be excited about. Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart and Saben Lee all look to

Detroit — The Pistons have had their struggles this season, but they haven’t come against the Toronto Raptors. In each of the three games, the Pistons have shot better than 50% from the field and better than 40% on 3-pointers. They shot 51% from the field and 50% on 3-pointers in Monday’s 118-104 win over

Detroit — In the first two meetings this season, the Pistons have feasted on the Toronto Raptors, with some of their best shooting performances, both from the field and on 3-pointers. They added another sizzling shooting display in the third meeting, and they finished with their third win against the Raptors, sweeping the three-game season

By Greg Beacham |  AP Sports Writer Andre Drummond is joining the Los Angeles Lakers for the playoff push. The Lakers announced the signing of the two-time All-Star center less than an hour before Sunday night’s game against the Orlando Magic. Drummond announced his decision with a post on his Instagram account earlier in the day,

Detroit — It’s hard to go from a franchise hero to villain in a short span. Once a player has gotten in fans’ good graces, he typically doesn’t lose that status without some significant event that turns the tide. Blake Griffin seems to have found a way, in the span of about a month. Griffin,

After a physical and emotionally draining game at home on Friday night, the Pistons had to go on the road to face the Washington Wizards to finish off a grueling back-to-back. It was apparent in the first few minutes of the game that the Pistons were going to be challenged to stay close. It was

Detroit — It started out as a “welcome back” game to Blake Griffin, in his first time playing at Little Caesars Arena since being bought out this month and joining the Brooklyn Nets. It finished as something different, with Griffin playing the role of villain. In between, it was a chippy matchup against some of

Detroit — There’s more to building a roster than just the players. General managers have to be concerned about a hundred other things, but balancing draft picks is somewhere near the top of that priority list. Through a series of deals, the Pistons were without a few picks in the next couple of years, but

Troy Weaver finally put down the jackhammer. And that left Dwane Casey a quiet moment before practice Thursday to talk to his work crew. “The dust has settled,” the Pistons’ coach explained later, “and what we have, like I told the team, is a big part of our foundation, a big part of our core

It wasn’t the flurry of trades that some people expected the Pistons to have at Thursday’s trade deadline, but they made one deal to help with the future asset acquisition. The Pistons added point guard Cory Joseph and two second-round picks from the Sacramento Kings for guard Delon Wright. On the surface, it’s not a

Though the Pistons aren’t in playoff contention this season, they’re still one of the teams to watch during the trade deadline. It’s not likely that they’ll be involved in a major deal, but general manager Troy Weaver could look to make some smaller trades to help them acquire more assets such as draft picks and

Call him Trader Troy or the Grim Weaver, or any of the other nicknames that are circulating around Twitter. What’s clear is that Pistons general manager Troy Weaver isn’t afraid to make a deal he thinks will improve the roster and fit his long-term vision. In less than a year, Weaver has completed eight trades,

The Detroit Pistons are reportedly trading guard Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for guard Cory Joseph and a pair of second-round draft picks, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported early Thursday. The Pistons will receive a 2021 second-round pick via the Los Angeles Lakers and the Kings’ 2024 second-round pick, according to the report. Joseph entered

It’s hard to get over the hump when the opponent has an answer for every run. The Pistons chiseled away at the lead and tied it a couple of times in the final period. When the Indiana Pacers needed a big basket, they got it, and didn’t let the Pistons get back in the game.

With the NBA trade deadline approaching on Thursday, the Pistons likely won’t be involved in any major deals, unless they’re the third team in a multi-team deal. General manager Troy Weaver was very active in reshaping the roster in free agency and during the draft, but with so many young players and just a few

Detroit — Two is that number that the Pistons just can’t seem to get over. For the second time this season, the Pistons reached a two-game win streak, and for the second time, they didn’t make it to three. The Pistons were in control in the first half but gave up the lead in the

The Pistons couldn’t keep the win streak going and had one of the few duds they’ve had all season, with a 100-86 loss to the Bulls. Besides Jerami Grant, who had 26 points, the Pistons couldn’t get much going offensively. They only made four 3-pointers and shot just 16% from beyond the arc. Here are

Detroit — The Pistons have had their share of injury issues this season. Oddly, it seems to have come simultaneously at various positions, making it a little trickier for coach Dwane Casey to manage from a roster perspective. Early in the season, it was Jahlil Okafor, which left only Mason Plumlee and Isaiah Stewart as
