The Detroit Pistons are itching to move on. Their 2022-23 season didn’t go as planned. The front office projected confidence in September, and had good reason to expect improvement from last season’s 23-59 finish. A lot went wrong, and the team finished 17-65 — the second-worst record in franchise history. Yet, the optimism that defined
The last time Cade Cunningham played basketball, he missed 10 of his 11 shots. He didn’t have much lift, or burst, or feel because his injured leg was slowing him down. Before that game in Boston, he’d played in 11 other games, and looked like himself in only a couple of them. When he and
Detroit — Cade Cunningham sat in front of a group of reporters on Monday afternoon to reflect on his shortened second season, which was halted after 12 games, due to season-ending surgery on his left tibia.

Detroit — Ever since he was a teenager, Cade Cunningham has been careful about what he puts in his body, including adhering to a strict vegan diet.

So, that’s a start. A start that doesn’t come unless Dwane Casey decided to step down as the Pistons coach Sunday. And he did, telling reporters

The Detroit Pistons — thankfully — are at the finish line. Their disappointing season ends Sunday vs. the Bulls in Chicago. A lot went wrong this season. Friday’s 122-115 road win over the Indiana Pacers allowed them to avoid tying a franchise-worst 16 wins. They’ll have plenty of time this offseason to get better. Predictably,
Someday, maybe, Pistons fans will appreciate the job Dwane Casey did. Someday, maybe, he’ll get credit for building a bridge — for being one, really — while everything else around him was getting razed. Someday. Maybe. That’s about all you can say about the Pistons’ future prospects at this point, a dozen years after owner

Chicago — The Pistons played their final game of the 2022-23 season on Easter Sunday against the Chicago Bulls in what was a low-scoring affair, reminiscent of the early 2000’s.
