Detroit — The Pistons hosted a Milwaukee Bucks team without two of their best players on Monday night, which would typically mean a greater chance to escape with a victory. However, that wasn’t the case because Milwaukee still had an All-Star caliber player in their starting lineup by the name of Khris Middleton, who was

Associated Press Chapel Hill, N.C. — The family of former Detroit Piston and North Carolina big man Eric Montross says he has begun treatments for cancer. Montross’ family issued a statement through the school on Saturday announcing the 51-year-old’s diagnosis, though it didn’t specify the nature of the cancer. “We are all touched by the responses our

Toronto — The Pistons have swept the Toronto Raptors in each of the last two seasons. On Friday, the Raptors returned the favor and delivered a 118-97 loss to the Pistons, marking their fourth victory against Detroit this season. Detroit’s fifth consecutive loss was a result of poor 3-point shooting, combined with good perimeter shooting

Toronto — On the eve of his first NBA game in his home country, Eugene Omoruyi signed a contract to stay with the Pistons for the remainder of the season.

Atlanta — It was business as usual. Saddiq Bey was immersed in his usual routine in the days leading up to the trade deadline. Practices were held. Games were played. He was well aware that his name was involved in trade rumors, but he didn’t expect he’d actually be moved to a different team. Bey,

Atlanta — The Pistons trailed by 24 points and were mere moments away from their fourth consecutive loss when Jaden Ivey scored a layup with three seconds remaining instead of dribbling out the clock. After the final buzzer sounded, Atlanta Hawks players Trae Young and John Collins took issue with Ivey’s decision and approached him,

Atlanta − The Pistons are short-handed most nights, which has become routine down the final stretch of the regular season. However, that fact becomes more glaring when they face opponents with prominent frontcourts, especially without two of their best big men. Detroit couldn’t keep the Atlanta Hawks off the offensive glass, which led to their

Detroit — James Wiseman grabbed a rebound, and instead of passing to one of the Pistons’ primary ball-handlers, the 7-footer kept the ball for himself and went coast-to-coast. He attempted a lefty hook after euro-stepping around Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and missed, but he caught his own board and finished a layup while getting

Detroit — Pistons coach Dwane Casey praised James Wiseman’s athleticism and rebounding ability before Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat, lauding his ability to run the floor and deter shots. “He’s athletic as heck,” Casey said. “He runs the floor and rebounds in his space. He knows how to use his length to deter shots

Detroit — When Marvin Bagley III isn’t on the court perfecting his game, he’s in the studio writing and recording music — his favorite form of expression. It’s not a hobby. It’s a part of who he is. Bagley, also known as MB3FIVE, began writing rhymes when he was five years old. As a child,

Detroit − The Pistons hosted a Denver Nuggets team that was motivated to leave Little Caesars Arena with a victory for three reasons. The Nuggets ranked first in the Western Conference and were on a four-game losing skid, so they desperately needed a win. A victory would secure a playoff berth for Denver, which would

Detroit — With 12 games remaining, the Pistons are nearing the end of another season of disappointment in the win-loss column. The Pistons currently have the worst record in the league, at 16-54, and if they finish the season without another victory, it’ll tie a franchise record for their worst record, matching the 16-66 mark

Why Bally Sports Detroit isn’t going anywhere today, and why it might be around for years to come. It’s a crisis, to be sure. But the sky’s not falling. At least, not yet.

Stringing together consecutive wins has been a struggle for the Pistons. They’ve only been able to accomplish that feat once this season when Detroit came away with a pair of back-to-back wins in November over the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz. Fresh off their blowout victory over the Indiana Pacers to snap an 11-game losing

Detroit − In their second game against each other in as many as three days, the Pistons and Pacers faced off on Detroit’s very own holiday, “313 Day.” It was a celebration of Detroit’s culture, music and fashion with several giveaways, celebrity appearances and activations around Little Caesars Arena. And on a day when Detroit

Detroit — As a child, Isaiah Jackson was given the nickname, “Caveboy,” by his father because he was more courageous, stronger and energetic than most boys his age. Those same attributes carried over to the basketball court, and they were on display Saturday, as Jackson led the Indiana Pacers to a 121-115 victory in his

Detroit — Learning how to win has been quite the process for the young Pistons. The group has only been able to accomplish that feat 15 times this season, tied for an NBA-low, and the opportunity to capture the 16th victory was in play on Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. Detroit entered the fourth

Detroit — The Pistons and Jim Boeheim are connected in more ways than just the obvious. Of course, Buddy Boeheim, a two-way guard for the Pistons and Motor City Cruise, is the youngest son of the longest-tenured coach in NCAA history and he played four seasons for his father at Syracuse from 2018-22. Before his
