Jalen Duren is expected to miss two weeks with a sprained left ankle, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. Duren rolled his ankle late in the fourth quarter during the Pistons 116-102 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, their 18th loss in a row. He appeared in immediate pain as he quickly grabbed

The Detroit Pistons’ epic losing streak is going to come to an end someday. Tonight was a good night for it. The struggling Memphis Grizzlies — sans Ja Morant, Steven Adams, Luke Kenner and Marcus Smart — arrived at Little Caesars Arena and looked like the Pistons’ best chance at that much, much, much, much

The Pistons and Grizzlies have both been bad this season. The reasons for each team being bad are somewhat similar, as both teams have been plagued by injuries in the early parts of the season. The Grizzlies also have to deal with the suspension of Ja Morant, which has caused even more issues for them.

The NBA G League announced today that Motor City Cruise head coach Jamelle McMillan was named Coach of the Month for November. He led the team to a 4-0 start, the best in the organization’s early history. The team went 6-2 overall throughout the month. In his first year as head coach, his team has

The Detroit Pistons are a bad basketball team. I think we can all agree on that. Even the team itself has been extremely open about how it is not meetings its own expectations, and voiced issues with an inability to handle adversity, to lock in on both ends, and to put players in optimal situations

The Detroit Pistons welcome Bojan Bogdanovic back to the lineup, and he greeted his teammates with a 22-point performance, including three three-pointers. Alas, it wasn’t enough to end the Pistons’ franchise-record losing streak, as they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-101. While Bojan delivered exactly as expected, the Pistons still have glaring deficiencies. They couldn’t

The Detroit Pistons radically remade its starting lineup Thursday against the New York Knicks in an effort to end the team’s 15-game losing streak. They started Isaiah Livers and Killian Hayes in place of rookie Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey. It didn’t work. They lost 118-112. But they did look a bit more functional, and

What started as one of the most bizarre and frustrating games of the Detroit Pistons’ bizarre and frustrating season ended as one of the more normal games of the season. Monty Williams changed up the starting lineup, played guys who hadn’t seen the floor in several games and tried a bit of everything, but ultimately,

For a guy who has sat through 15 years of mediocrity and has endured nearly every game of the past four years of tanking, I’ve had a hard time dragging myself to the couch lately to endure yet another hair-pulling Detroit Pistons loss. Obviously, I am frustrated — all Pistons fans are. However, I am

The Detroit Pistons top scorer from a year ago, and the one player who could be most critical to helping the team end its franchise-record 15-game losing streak, could be nearing a return. Bojan Bogdanovic, who averaged 21.6 points and shot 41% from three on six attempts per game one season ago, is nearing his

When Troy Weaver arrived in 2020, the Detroit Pistons general manager said with pride, “this isn’t a rebuild — it’s a restoring.” “There’s been greatness here,” Weaver told media in his virtual introductory press conference. “The Motor City deserves a consistent winner back on the floor.” He was right. There has been greatness here, and,

The Detroit Pistons were never going to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. From the opening tip, the Pistons never had it. They fell behind early, then they fell behind by more, and then even more. They shot it poorly, they defended worse. D’Angelo Russell made them look like the Motor City Cruise, stunting on them
