Somehow, the injury report keeps getting longer for the Detroit Pistons.  Hours before Tuesday’s road game against the Washington Wizards, Isaiah Livers (right hip soreness) became their eighth player listed as “OUT.” Cory Joseph nearly became the ninth, as his status was questionable with a non-COVID illness. With the Pistons down nearly half of their

After snapping an 11-game losing streak with a 20-point win on Monday, Dwane Casey took a moment to name several of the key contributors.

It had been more than a month since the Detroit Pistons entered the win column. They did so in dominant fashion on Monday. The Pistons led by as many as 31 points en route to a 117-97 home victory over the Indiana Pacers, snapping their 11-game losing streak, the longest active streak in the NBA.

Eugene Omoruyi has made a strong impression on the Detroit Pistons in a short amount of time. On Monday, the team decided to keep him around longer. Omoruyi has signed a second 10-day contract, the team announced Monday. He appeared in five games after his initial 10-day deal March 3, and averaged 8.2 points and

Jalen Duren’s loudest play of the night resulted from extra hustle. Toward the end of the first half of the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, Isaiah Livers inbounded a heave to Marvin Bagley III on the opposite side of the floor. Duren caught all five Pacers defenders off-guard, barreling down the

Strong performances from several young players weren’t enough to help the Detroit Pistons — who entered Saturday with a lengthy injury report — snap the NBA’s longest losing streak. The Pistons fell to the Indiana Pacers at Little Caesars Arena, 121-115, for their 11th consecutive defeat. Indiana used a 32-16 run in the second quarter

Both the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers will be without their tantalizing rookie guards in Saturday night’s matchup at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons on Friday placed Jaden Ivey in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, listing him as “out” on the injury report. The Pacers listed Bennedict Mathurin “out” for Saturday, as well, after he

Cheryl Ford and Ruth Riley were newcomers to the Detroit Shock in 2003. They didn’t know much about the previous year’s team — which finished 9-23, the WNBA’s worst record. But early in the season, they got an inkling that something special could happen. Riley arrived in Detroit that April in a special dispersal draft

Losers of nine straight entering Thursday, the Detroit Pistons hosted a Charlotte Hornets team not much further ahead in the standings and missing its best player, LaMelo Ball, due to an ankle sprain. But the shorthanded Pistons were unable to capitalize, and their losing streak has now hit double digits. The Pistons lost to the

The injury woes keep piling for the Detroit Pistons. Isaiah Stewart will miss three-to-four weeks with a left shoulder impingement, the team announced Thursday. The news comes three days after Hamidou Diallo suffered a right ankle sprain against the Portland Trail Blazers, which will also cause him to miss three-to-four weeks. With one month remaining

For Detroiters, 313 Day (March 13) is an opportunity to celebrate the history and culture of Detroit. For the Detroit Pistons, it’s a chance to not only throw a party, but another opportunity to promote local artists and business owners as well. The Pistons have a long list of festivities planned during Monday’s home game

Joining an NBA team on a 10-day contract is often a frenetic process. Players are required to fly to a new city and quickly acclimate with their new teammates and surroundings, all in hopes of making enough of an impression to reach a second 10-day contract — and, even more hopefully, a full deal after.

On a night the Detroit Pistons were missing nearly half of their roster due to injuries, Jaden Ivey stepped up.

He scored or assisted 19 of the Pistons’ final 22 points,
