Detroit — Despite the Pistons’ slow start, there isn’t a panic emanating from the locker room about the shooting struggles and the other issues that have led to a disappointing 1-6 start to the season. It’s suboptimal, but coach Dwane Casey isn’t going to start switching things up to try to jump-start the offense and

When the Philadelphia 76ers visit Little Caesars Arena to face the Detroit Pistons on Thursday, they will be without one of their best players. And it isn’t clear when — or if — that player will play again for the franchise. Ben Simmons, a three-time All-Star and two-time All-Defensive first team selection, has been involved in a
Detroit — In Tuesday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Jerami Grant had the hardest assignment on the floor, having to guard two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, and then be guarded by the former defensive player of the year. For the most part, Grant handled the matchup well, but in the first two minutes of the game,
If there’s a silver lining to the Detroit Pistons’ early shooting woes this season, it’s that it’s unlikely to get significantly worse. The Pistons made just eight of 47 3-point attempts Tuesday in a 117-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. That 17% clip dropped them to 26.7% on the season — the NBA’s worst by
Detroit — Another bad shooting night, another loss. It’s becoming a recurring situation for the Pistons early in the season, and when they struggle to score, it’s hard for them to stay in games for very long. In their 117-89 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, they didn’t shoot well, and the Bucks
Detroit — When the shots aren’t falling, basketball is a tough game, both to play and to watch. The Pistons are in one of those stretches where most of their shots are missing and most of the opponents’ shots are falling. It’s making for a tough start to the season, especially against some of the best
It’s been the same story all season for the Detroit Pistons — they can’t hit shots. That story continued Tuesday, as a shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks team came to Little Caesars Arena and handed the Pistons their worst loss of the year yet. Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez were in street clothes, but the
Detroit — The Pistons’ dismal 1-5 start isn’t a result of poor defense or lazy offense. Turnovers have been a big part of the issues, but the biggest problem has been that shots aren’t falling. Early in the season, the Pistons rank 29th in field-goal percentage (41%) and last in 3-point percentage (29%). Even when
November 1st 2021 at 7:56pm CST by Dana Gauruder Top pick Cade Cunningham made his belated NBA debut on Saturday against Orlando, then sat out Sunday’s loss to Brooklyn. The Pistons’ prized rookie won’t play in back-to-backs in the short term, coach Dwane Casey told The Detroit News’ Rod Beard and other media members (Twitter
The Pistons starting lineup is almost like a Broadway show or a high-level theatrical performance, where fans have to wait and see who will be playing the leading role: the star or the understudy. In this case, it’s the reverse. Cade Cunningham isn’t the star yet, having played just one NBA game, but he’s turning
A legal battle over whether Piston Group LLC qualifies as a minority business is set to resume Wednesday with a hearing in Wayne County Circuit Court. The 9 a.m. hearing before Judge David Groner comes weeks after the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council filed a countersuit against the Southfield-based auto supplier, which is owned by former Pistons
The Detroit Pistons have new jerseys, and they pay homage to every era of the franchise’s championship history. The NBA and Nike unveiled 2021-22 City Edition uniforms Monday and they honor the league’s 75th anniversary. The Pistons’ iteration of the jersey features plenty of red, some blue, hints of teal and cameos by the flaming horse logo from the
It’s not the striking teal jersey that some Pistons fans wanted, but it’s still a throwback look. The NBA unveiled the City Edition jerseys for this season, and the Pistons’ ensemble is red with “Detroit” in blue block letters across the front. The top and shorts have blue and a faint white trim, with a
After nearly a year of the Detroit Pistons’ “Fade for Cade,” followed by — miraculously! — winning the NBA’s draft lottery, and, finally, actually drafting Cade Cunningham No. 1 overall, everything is falling into place for the return of DEEEE-TROIT BASK-ET-BALLLLLLL. (Sorry, had to get that out of our system.) The 2021-22 season has started,
It was going to be tough for the Detroit Pistons early this season, with five of their first six games against teams that either made the playoffs last season or were picked to make the playoffs this season. They’ve also played five of their six games without the 2021 No. 1 overall pick, Cade Cunningham.
The Detroit Pistons put together their best shooting night of the season on Sunday. It wasn’t nearly enough to keep up with a lights-out night by the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets shot a scorching 65.3% overall, and 52% from 3, to hand the Pistons a 117-91 loss on the second night of a back-to-back. Kevin
New York — Winning streaks haven’t been easy for the Pistons to come by in the past couple of seasons. They only had one last year and two the previous season. After Saturday’s victory over the Orlando Magic, their first of the season, the Pistons had a chance for a win streak, their first since
Pacers swingman Caris LeVert made his season debut on Saturday after a stress fracture sidelined him during training camp. LeVert learned a lot from the way he was thrown into the deep end last season following his return from a kidney surgery in March 2021, writes Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files. After just one post-surgery practice,
New York — The first question in Saturday’s pregame press conference for coach Dwane Casey was predictable: whether Cade Cunningham was going to make his NBA debut. “Yes, he’s good to go. Is that all you’ve got?” Casey joked. That encapsulates the anticipation for seeing Cunningham, who missed almost a month because of an ankle injury.
After making his NBA debut against the Orlando Magic on Saturday, Cade Cunningham will miss Sunday’s game. Cunningham (right ankle injury management) will sit out the second half of the Detroit Pistons’ home-road back-to-back when the team travels to Brooklyn to face the Nets.
