To some degree, the Pistons’ western road trip already is a success, with two victories, over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings. One more win would give them a winning record in a difficult stretch of games. It didn’t come against the Portland Trail Blazers. Enes Kanter had a historic night and as usual,

To some degree, the Pistons’ western road trip already is a success, with two victories over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings.

Is there a world where the Pistons get the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft and pass on Cade Cunningham? I know, I know. There’s a massive contingent of fans who say dismissively that the Pistons would never get the No. 1 pick anyway — but for kicks and giggles, let’s just play a

Every game seemingly brings something different. Even with two starters out, the Pistons found an alternate combination and found a way to come out with another good game. No Jerami Grant and no Mason Plumlee. No problem. The Pistons played solid on both ends of the court and outlasted the Sacramento Kings, 113-101, on Thursday

Through 51 games, the Pistons still are entertaining to watch on most nights. They’re not going to win on most nights, but it’s still worth the time to see how the young players are developing. It might be Saddiq Bey hitting six 3-pointers, as he did in Tuesday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets. There

Associated Press Detroit — Dr. Benjamin Paolucci, a longtime team physician for the Detroit Pistons who was with the franchise for each of its three NBA championships, has died. He was 84. The Pistons said Paolucci died Wednesday in Florida. Paolucci retired from the organization in 2015 after serving the Pistons’ medical needs for over 40 years.

There’s a reason that Nikola Jokic is the favorite to win the MVP this season.

It didn’t take long for Tyler Cook to make an impression on the Pistons. Cook has been with the Pistons for a couple of weeks, on a pair of 10-day contracts, and impressed the team so much that he will sign a standard contract for the remainder of this season, a league source told The

After a stinker of a game, the Pistons bounced back with a gem. The way this season has gone, the Pistons will take wins any way they can get them, even if it’s against another struggling team. The Pistons had a solid defensive effort and quieted the Oklahoma City Thunder, 132-108, on Monday night in

Rod Beard |  The Detroit News The Pistons were embarrassed in a 44-point loss to the Knicks on Saturday night, but they set the tone in the early minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night and got a timely 132-108 win. Coach Dwane Casey blasted the lackluster play and leadership by the veteran players

When NBA players and coaches compete against their former team for the first time, there’s often some animosity, as they have something to prove or have an axe to grind because of a bitter breakup. There’s not an iota of acrimony for Troy Weaver in his first game back in Oklahoma City to face his

Detroit — Sometimes, it’s worthwhile to take a small victory, even in a big loss. There haven’t been many lopsided losses for the Pistons this season, but against the New York Knicks, the big blowout was one of the anomalies. The Knicks scored the first 14 points of the game and didn’t let off the

Tim Reynolds |  AP Basketball Writer Grant Hill helped the U.S. win Olympic gold in 1996. He would have been on the team again in 2000 if not for injury. And he was among the college kids who famously beat the first “Dream Team” in a scrimmage before the 1992 Olympics. Now, USA Basketball is bringing

While much has been made about the emergence of Pistons rookies Isaiah Stewart and Saddiq Bey this season, the first member selected to Troy Weaver’s inaugural freshman class has been absent for most of this calendar year. That is expected to change soon. Killian Hayes, selected seventh overall by Detroit in the 2020 NBA Draft, is poised

Josh Jackson struggled with perspective early in his career. The Detroit Pistons wing would have a bad shooting night or have his minutes cut, and get overwhelmed by not knowing what would happen next, or how he’d get his game to where he wanted it. Now in his fourth NBA season, he’s a lot more

Detroit — A couple Pistons used Thursday’s second half of a back-to-back for a bounceback. After combining to go scoreless in 44 minutes on Wednesday, Josh Jackson and Saddiq Bey combined for 42 points in a 120-91 victory over the Washington Wizards. Jackson had a season-high 31 points on 13 of 21 shooting, knocking down four

Detroit — Blake and Bruce against Andre and Keef. Or against Reggie and Luke. It’s a very real possibility that a handful of Pistons from last season will figure heavily into the NBA’s championship picture. With Andre Drummond joining the Los Angeles Lakers and debuting Wednesday for the defending champions, that makes six Pistons from last year

Detroit — The Portland Trail Blazers are looking like one of the top contenders in the Western Conference. With a new addition, they look to be primed for another playoff run. For much of the first three quarters against the Pistons, they looked like world-beaters, especially from beyond the arc. They needed a fourth-quarter surge
