Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons will be looking for their second consecutive win without two of the key cogs to their most recent victory as Killian Hayes and Hamidou Diallo serve suspensions as a result of the altercation against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Hayes is suspended three games and Diallo one for their roles in the

The NBA League Office has suspended Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes and Orlando Magic big man Mortiz Wagner for multiple games following last night’s second-quarter scuffle at Little Caesars Arena, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Hayes received a 3-game suspension for his left hand blow to the back of Wagner’s head. While, the Magic will

Well, where do y’all want to begin? We could start with the Detroit Pistons’ much — and I mean much — needed win, 121-101, over the Orlando Magic at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday, their first win since December 14 in Charlotte. Nahhhhhh. Let’s start with the fracas at the end of the first half:

There is absolutely no denying the impact that No. 13 overall pick Jalen Duren has made through the first 33 games of his Detroit Pistons career. The 19-year-old is the youngest player in the NBA and has shown everyone why there were reports that Troy Weaver would have considered taking him as high as No.

The Detroit Pistons host the Orlando Magic for the first time since Detroit’s 113-109 opening-night victory. A lot has changed since then. For Detroit fans, those 48 hours after win number one of the season were the most hope the fan base would feel all season. Aside from some rookie highlights and a Killian Hayes

Even by the low standards of the NBA-worst Detroit Pistons this season, tonight’s 142-131 overtime loss is inexplicable. Detroit was up 126-112 with just 3:34 remaining after an and-one from Isaiah Stewart. The team had double-digit contributions from all eight players who saw more than 10 minutes of action. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue even pulled

The Detroit Pistons are looking for solutions. Solutions to being the worst team in the NBA, solutions to recent third-quarter blowouts, and solutions to losing eight of is past nine games. There is only so much you can do with the roster as it stands — it’s not like rearranging things will suddenly make this

In the words of my good friend Frosty the Snowman, “Happy Birthday!.” That’s right, it’s Christmas Day, and that means some of the NBA’s best teams and biggest stars get a signature showcase. Sure, they’ll be competing with “A Christmas Story,” midday naps, and even the NFL, but today is truly the NBA’s time to

The Detroit Pistons dropped their fifth straight game in Atlanta tonight, losing by 25 points to the hometown Hawks 130-105. Trae Young and Dejounte Murray lead the way for Atlanta scoring 26 points each. Killian Hayes had a nice bounce-back performance, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds and five assists. Bojan Bogdanovic and Jaden Ivey

When the holiday season arrives, I’m often reminded of Santa Claus’ list. Growing up, if you you believe in Santa, you believe that you will land in one of two columns on that never-ending list — naughty or nice. It’s one of those things that keeps you, as a kid, in line. The idea that

After a couple of promising performances against the Kings and Nets in losses, the Pistons have been blown out in their last two games by the Jazz and 76ers respectively. The Pistons were not competitive in either game as their defense continues to be a huge problem. The Pistons will be facing a Hawks team

When GM Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons agreed to a two-year contract with former No. 9 overall pick Kevin Knox II on the first day of free agency, the expectations for Weaver’s latest reclamation attempt were low. Sure, Knox had shown promise in his rookie season with the New York Knicks averaging 12.8 points

The Detroit Pistons lost to the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, 113-93. Jaden Ivey continued his productive week with 18 points to lead Detroit, Killian Hayes had 12 points and 4 assists, and Saddiq Bey scored 11 points off the bench. Joel Embiid led the way for Philly with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists, and
