Troy Weaver has been one of the NBA’s most active general managers when it comes to the trade market. The Detroit Pistons have seemingly gone through an endless roster overhaul over the last three years. It’s safe to assume that Weaver will work the phones once again ahead of this season’s deadline, which is on
Detroit — The clock is ticking close to 11 a.m. on a Friday in early December, and Stacey Lovelace is sitting courtside inside Wayne State Fieldhouse as the Motor City Cruise prepares for a regular-season game against the Iowa Wolves. It’s an early morning for Lovelace, an assistant general manager with the Cruise, the Detroit

A showdown between the two teams with the worst records in the NBA occurred on Wednesday night, but the offensive firepower on display said otherwise. The Pistons and Charlotte Hornets were deadlocked at 127-127 with just one second left in regulation. Terry Rozier nearly drained the game-winning 3-pointer but the ball rimmed out, resulting in
The Detroit Pistons confirmed earlier this week that their blossoming second-year guard, Cade Cunningham, will miss the rest of the season. On Wednesday, Killian Hayes offered more confirmation that until Cunningham returns, the Pistons are in good hands. A deep, stepback 3-pointer from Hayes with 1:11 left in overtime helped the Pistons defeat the Charlotte

When bad teams get together, good basketball rarely follows. But fun basketball? Ohhhh yeah, there’s fun basketball. That’s what made Tuesday’s game between the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets so good. Neither team was at full-strength and neither team played any defense — but the final result was an offensive explosion and an overtime finish.
The Charlotte Hornets season has been a sad affair. The troubles started before the season even started with assault charges and disturbing photos released by his wife featuring injuries after an alleged attack. The Hornets then lost Cody Martin in October, Gordon Hayward is out indefinitely after a November shoulder fracture, LaMelo Ball missed the
So much for that Detroit Pistons rebuild taking a step forward this season. And possibly next season. The stress fracture in Cade Cunningham’s left shin, and the season-ending surgery he has elected to have on it, have hobbled any chance the Pistons had this season to make progress with promising young players Jalen Duren, Killian

Detroit — Troy Weaver called this “ground zero” back in September, and he meant it in the best way possible. The Pistons’ general manager was talking about his “restoration” project in Detroit reaching a new stage, with the foundation laid and the substructure settling into place. He’d built up a young core of talent here
Cade Cunningham made the right decision for himself and for the Detroit Pistons. But that doesn’t mean it was an easy decision. Cunningham, who will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a stress fracture in his left shin later this week, took a few weeks to make the biggest decision of his young NBA career. He
