This could be a big week for the Pistons. Maybe. Maybe not. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, and one of the biggest names being bandied about in trade rumors is Pistons forward Jerami Grant. At this time of year, there are plenty of phone calls, with some ridiculous offers and some credible ones. The
The Detroit Pistons had just finished practicing, but Cade Cunningham‘s day wasn’t finished. He sat down at a table stacked with Pistons-themed hats, mini-basketballs and two stacks of posters.

Detroit head coach Dwane Casey shares his thoughts on his team’s effort Friday against the Boston Celtics.
Saddiq Bey, fresh from his 17th game with 20+ points, speaks with the media following a close loss to the Celtics.

In Friday’s matchup against the Boston Celtics, it was the shots inside the arc where they had a hard time. For most of the game, they were shooting below 30% on
Killian Hayes knocked down a corner 3 to cut the deficit to seven points. The Detroit Pistons committed a quick foul, and Boston Celtics forward Romeo Langford drew jeers from the crowd after missing both free throws, with the first an airball.
