The word out of Detroit Pistons media day two weeks ago was that, in their third year of rebuilding, they are finally ready to compete. It’s too early to write them off, but that’s yet to be proven true through three preseason games. The Pistons have struggled to shoot, making just 39.4% of their overall

Detroit — The crowd inside Little Caesars Arena fell silent as Marvin Bagley III went down 45 seconds into Tuesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder with an apparent knee injury.

The tantalizing tools of back-to-back Thunder lottery picks Ousmane Dieng and Jalen Williams flashed over the course of four quarters Tuesday night in Detroit. Dieng, at 6-foot-10, played point guard for a good chunk of the fourth quarter in the Thunder’s 115-99 preseason win against the Pistons. Dieng flashed an in-and-out dribble, a crossover, a
Killian Hayes appears to enjoy playing the Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored a career-high 26 points and tallied eight assists, seven rebounds and five steals against them on April 1 last season. He was once again the Detroit Pistons’ best all-around player against the Thunder on Tuesday. Unfortunately, much of the rest of the roster

His right knee bent at an
Detroit — When Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey decides he’s going to attack the basket, he’s aware of the fact that he’s likely going to take a hit once he’s inside the paint. The No. 5 overall draft pick found his way to the free-throw line nine times Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Not only
The NBA learning curve is tough for all rookies. It’s especially tough for those who primarily handle the ball. The Detroit Pistons, for the third season in a row, have a rookie point guard in their starting five. It’s still the preseason, but Jaden Ivey looks up to the challenge so far. Ivey made his

Detroit — The Oklahoma City Thunder will visit Little Caesars Arena on Tuesday, marking the first of two home preseason games this week for the Pistons to wrap up the exhibition season. Still searching for its first preseason win, Detroit will host a Thunder team that has won three of four preseason games over the
Detroit — After most practices, Rodney McGruder can be found on the court shooting with Pistons development coach Jordan Brink. The 31-year-old guard goes through a series of 3-point attempts from the five principal spots beyond the arc, holding his follow-through until the ball makes its way to the rim. Most of his shots splash
Through two preseason games, the Detroit Pistons have committed 42 turnovers against 41 assists. They’ve shot a putrid 38.8% overall (including 30% from 3-point range). If you didn’t figure it out from the numbers, they’ve lost both of their exhibitions. But the preseason is designed to work out issues. The Pistons appear to have a
Detroit — The days of a traditional locked-in starting lineup in the NBA have slowly faded, as teams often name starters based on matchup advantages. The strategy is key during the postseason since teams gain more familiarity with each other through four- to seven-game playoff series. Through two games of the preseason, the Pistons have
The 2022-23 season will be pivotal for the Detroit Pistons. The front office hasn’t publicly set its sights on a playoff run yet, but they will look for signs of growth.

After trailing by more than 13 points in the second half, the Pistons rallied but ran out of gas in a 107-101 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Saddiq Bey, who went without making a 3-pointer against the New York Knicks on Tuesday, had a bounce-back effort with a team-high 23 points
For the second game in a row, the Detroit Pistons couldn’t take care of the ball. That, along with poor shooting, made Friday’s loss feel bigger than the final score indicated. The Pistons fell to the New Orleans Pelicans on the road, 107-101, to fall to 0-2 overall in preseason play. Saddiq Bey finished with
New York — In something of a scheduling oddity, the Pistons have their first two preseason games on the road and the last two at home. After Tuesday’s game at Madison Square Garden, the team spent two more practice days in New York before heading off to New Orleans. It’s a mini-road trip before the
The game of Cade Cunningham is both classic and something entirely his own. As the Pistons’ roster improves so do the possibilities for him. Cade Cunningham’s name rolls off the tongue like a Sunday morning comic strip your great-grandparents might have read, and there is something old about his game. Cunningham branches from the James
