Prayers up to one of the greatest of all time. George Blaha, an absolute legend of NBA broadcasting and perhaps the singular most important factor to making Pistons’ games bearable during much of the past decade, will miss the remainder of the season due to a heart procedure, the team announced. Blaha is slated to
If you took the players who aren’t going to play in today’s contest between the Detroit Pistons and LA Clippers, you could make a pretty enticing rotation. The Clippers would surely be responsible for most of the starting lineup, of course — with stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George as well as Norman Powell and
The 2019 NBA draft had a singular prize. The standings reflected that. Three teams — the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Phoenix Suns — won fewer than 20 games to maximize their odds of drafting Duke’s Zion Williamson, who was not only clearly the best overall prospect , but one of the NBA’s best
Bulls guard Alex Caruso is nearing his return from a wrist injury that’s sidelined him 22 games, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago writes.

One of coach Dwane Casey’s primary post-All Star break goals for the Detroit Pistons has been to get an extended look as the young players — particularly the Motor City Cruise players who haven’t spent much time in the rotation this season. A slew of injuries on the roster has made that task easier. The

Marvin Bagley III, who posts 20 points and 11 rebounds Friday, says his Pistons can beat anybody, even though they fade in the fourth quarter and lose to the Celtics 114-103.
The first 40 minutes of the Detroit Pistons‘ Friday match against the Boston Celtics followed a similar script to the first two. The Pistons have been surprisingly competitive against the Eastern Conference contender this season, defeating them, 112-111, in Boston on Feb. 16 and playing them closely in Detroit on Feb. 26 before falling behind

Suddenly, the Boston Celtics look like a team ready to go to the NBA Finals. Of course, you could have said the same thing Feb. 16, and the Detroit Pistons escaped from that road contest with a buzzer-beating win courtesy of Kelly Olynyk. In a rematch on a rare noon Sunday game, the Pistons coughed
March 10th 2022 at 7:31pm CST by Dana Gauruder The Pistons won in Boston just before the All-Star break but they’ll be shorthanded when they visit for the second time on Friday. The team has ruled out starting center Isaiah Stewart and key reserves Killian Hayes, Hamidou Diallo, Rodney McGruder and Frank Jackson due to
Detroit — In the past couple of weeks, the Pistons have demonstrated that they’re capable of playing well against playoff-caliber teams. Wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors gave them a needed boost to show some of their improvement. The next step is figuring out how to move forward in
I have to be straight up with everyone, Isaiah Livers has QUICKLY become one of my favorite players on this Detroit Pistons roster. While I am a fan of the NBA team in Michigan, I must admit Livers was not a player I was super familiar with during his career playing for the Michigan Wolverines.
Michael Scotto of HoopsHype spoke to five executives about Mitchell Robinson‘s value as the Knicks center nears unrestricted free agency and came away the impression that a deal in the mid-level range ($10MMish) might be on the low end for Robinson this offseason. Generally speaking, the projected range for the big man was closer to
Several of the NBA teams that had open roster spots following the trade deadline have since filled them, either with free agent signings, such as DeMarcus Cousins (Nuggets) and DeAndre Jordan (Sixers), or with promoted two-way players, like Caleb Martin (Heat) and Daishen Nix (Rockets). However, there are still a number of clubs around the
