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

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

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

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. SHAWN WINDSOR: Cade Cunningham playing catch-up to NBA game, but breathes life

Dana Gauruder |  Special to Detroit Free Press Cade Cunningham emerged as the top prospect in this year’s NBA draft with his dynamic playmaking and pinpoint shooting. Those things were missing in his debut Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena. He didn’t mind too much. Cunningham was simply thrilled to suit up and contribute to the

They came to see the debut of the franchise’s first No. 1 pick in half a century. No, Little Caesars Arena wasn’t sold out for Cade Cunningham. But it had life. Lots of life considering the Detroit Pistons were winless before Saturday night and had struggled, other than a late stretch against Philadelphia recently, to score. And to shoot,

Dana Gauruder |  Special to Detroit Free Press Cade Cunningham’s delayed NBA debut didn’t go according to plan. The top pick in the 2021 draft was supposed to inject some life into the Detroit Pistons’ moribund offense. Cunningham fell into his own offensive malaise, but his teammates found their groove while he was resting during the

Dana Gauruder |  Special to Detroit Free Press The wraps come off tonight. Cade Cunningham will make his NBA debut against the Orlando Magic at Little Caesars Arena. The top pick in the 2021 draft has missed the first four Detroit Pistons games due to an ankle injury. “He’s good to go,” coach Dwane Casey said. PISTONS

The Detroit Pistons entered Saturday with an 0-4 record, so there’s certainly been plenty of down during the first week-and-a-half of the season. But there have been bright spots as well.

Cade Cunningham is nearing his return after suffering a left ankle sprain early in training camp. But nearly a month after the injury, it isn’t clear when the No. 1 pick will return. Cunningham, the Detroit Pistons‘ No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft, could make his NBA debut Saturday night at home against the Orlando

PHILADELPHIA — For six minutes, the Detroit Pistons managed to do what they haven’t been able to do consistently — if at all— through the early portion of the season. They moved the ball freely and took care of it. 3-point shots hit. The offense had a rhythm, an assertiveness. Midway through the fourth quarter, the

PHILADELPHIA — It’s tough to win when you can’t make shots. And shot-making has been the Detroit Pistons‘ biggest issue through four games this season. Entering Thursday’s road matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Pistons were the NBA’s worst-shooting team. That didn’t change Thursday. At least it didn’t until a spirited comeback attempt that fell

On Thursday, Killian Hayes will play his 30th NBA game. The sophomore point guard has so dominated Detroit Pistons discussion on social media — and in real life — over the past 11 months that it’s easy to forget how few games he has played, dating back to his selection at No. 7overall on Nov.

Longtime NBA executive Bob Ferry, an ex-Detroit Piston, has died at age 84. The St. Louis native played for four seasons with the Pistons, averaging 12.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in 312 appearances from 1960-64. Ferry also played his rookie season with the Hawks (then in St. Louis) and finished his career

ATLANTA — The Detroit Pistons‘ front office knew the team would need to shoot the ball better this season. The majority of their cap space spent this summer went toward addressing that weakness. Kelly Olynyk and Trey Lyles are proven floor-spacers. John Beilein has a well-established reputation as a shooting coach and was hired to help Detroit’s young players improve

ATLANTA — There’s never an opportune time for any team to lose its best player, but it was certainly poor timing for the Detroit Pistons on Monday when Jerami Grant was a late scratch with a left elbow infection. The Pistons have struggled offensively to start the season, and the Atlanta Hawks — fresh off
