Detroit — It took long enough for Pistons rookie Isaiah Livers to make his NBA debut. A foot injury kept him sidelined for most of the season, but when he was finally healthy enough to play, it was just a one-game appearance, before he had a setback. When Livers rejoined the Pistons for a recent
The Detroit Pistons playing well feels good. They’re still learning to win, but their work is paying dividends. They’ve won five of their past seven games and, coming off a weekend of rest, welcome the Atlanta Hawks to LCA looking to keep the good times rolling. Now, some may see tangible improvement as being the
Saddiq Bey has certainly found his offensive game after a slow start. Since the turn of the calendar, he is averaging 17.7 points on 42% from the field, 36% from 3 and 83% from the free-throw line. He is also dishing out 3.1 APG with just over 1 turnover per game. This combined with what
Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 17-47 Detroit Pistons. And actually it’s good that the Pistons are 17-47, because this week Ben Gulker and I bring on Richard Stayman aka @MavsDraft to talk about the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft

On March 12, 2021, he exited Michigan’s Big Ten tournament victory over Maryland due to discomfort in the foot. Before he was drafted 42nd overall by the Detroit Pistons in July, Livers didn’t think it would
Bulls guards Lonzo Ball (knee) and Alex Caruso (wrist) did individual, non-contact work at the team’s practice on Sunday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago tweets. Joining them was forward Patrick Williams (wrist), who hasn’t played since October. Caruso will need to be checked by a doctor again before being cleared for contact, coach Billy Donovan said.
Detroit — Hearing fans doing a little trash talk during an NBA game is nothing new. Most times, the side talk is a minor distraction that doesn’t impact players. Rarely, it’s the fuel that ignites a player’s competitive nature and turns into a driving force in ripping the heart out of the crowd. Some of
The future looks bright for the Detroit Pistons, even in the midst of a 17-47 season. Cade Cunningham and Saddiq Bey are settling in as primary scorers alongside Jerami Grant, spurring the team’s best basketball of the year and five wins in the past seven games. Yet the Pistons, currently with the NBA’s third-worst record, are likely

After leading by 15 points midway through the second quarter on Friday, the Detroit Pistons did almost everything possible to lose to the Indiana Pacers at Little Caesars Arena. Almost. The Pistons were outscored, 66-56, after the 8:12 mark of the second period. They shot 6-for-22 overall and turned the ball over five times in the
Detroit — On the second game of a back-to-back, after an emotional win over at Toronto on Thursday night, if the Pistons weren’t hitting on all cylinders, it would be understandable.
