The Detroit Pistons are itching to move on. Their 2022-23 season didn’t go as planned. The front office projected confidence in September, and had good reason to expect improvement from last season’s 23-59 finish. A lot went wrong, and the team finished 17-65 — the second-worst record in franchise history. Yet, the optimism that defined
The last time Cade Cunningham played basketball, he missed 10 of his 11 shots. He didn’t have much lift, or burst, or feel because his injured leg was slowing him down. Before that game in Boston, he’d played in 11 other games, and looked like himself in only a couple of them. When he and
Detroit — Cade Cunningham sat in front of a group of reporters on Monday afternoon to reflect on his shortened second season, which was halted after 12 games, due to season-ending surgery on his left tibia.

The Detroit Pistons‘ next coach will inherit talent. Young talent, for sure, but still talent. And for that reason, the Pistons will get interest from the best available candidates. So, that’s a start. A start that doesn’t come unless Dwane Casey decided to step down as the Pistons coach Sunday. And he did, telling reporters

The Pistons followed Monday with an acknowledgment, along with praise of Casey from team owner Tom Gores and general manager Troy Weaver. “Dwane Casey has done
The Detroit Pistons — thankfully — are at the finish line. Their disappointing season ends Sunday vs. the Bulls in Chicago. A lot went wrong this season. Friday’s 122-115 road win over the Indiana Pacers allowed them to avoid tying a franchise-worst 16 wins. They’ll have plenty of time this offseason to get better. Predictably,
Someday, maybe, Pistons fans will appreciate the job Dwane Casey did. Someday, maybe, he’ll get credit for building a bridge — for being one, really — while everything else around him was getting razed. Someday. Maybe. That’s about all you can say about the Pistons’ future prospects at this point, a dozen years after owner
CHICAGO — Dwane Casey is taking a new job after five years as head coach of the Detroit Pistons. His new path will keep him with the organization, though: Casey is joining the Pistons’ front office. He broke his own news Sunday at United Center, after the Pistons concluded the season with a 103-81 loss
Chicago — The Pistons are in need of a new head coach after Dwane Casey announced his decision to step down on Sunday after five years at the helm of the franchise.
