According to several reports, the Pistons are planning to sign guard RJ Hampton, the No. 24 pick in the 2020 NBA draft, who was waived Tuesday by the Orlando Magic. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was first to report the Pistons’ intention to
Troy Weaver is collecting old NBA Draft crushes like, I dunno, Pokemon? Is that a dated reference? Anyway, the Detroit Pistons are signing young guard RJ Hampton after he received his release from the Orlando Magic, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Hampton was traded to the Magic nearly two years ago in the big Aaron
The Detroit Pistons are taking a swing on another former five-star basketball prospect. The Pistons intend to sign former Orlando Magic guard R.J.

The Detroit Pistons (15-44) own the Eastern Conference’s worst winning percentage, and with 25 games remaining on the schedule, both fans and the organization are shifting focus toward the future. The dog days of Detroit’s schedule will be used primarily to continue evaluating the young players on the roster, including trade deadline acquisition James Wiseman.
Arguably the most exciting part of a rebuild is dreaming about how all the new young players will contribute to the next era of winning basketball for your favorite team. As Detroit Pistons fans, we are currently living and breathing this because the Pistons are, as Troy Weaver likes to say, in the talent-acquisition phase
This has not been a fun season for the Detroit Pistons. At 15-44, they have the worst record in the Eastern Conference, and are 1½ games ahead of the NBA’s worst team, the Houston Rockets. Or perhaps that’s 1½ games behind the Rockets in the race for the top spot in the draft lottery and
James Wiseman finally made his debut with the Detroit Pistons earlier this week. He came off the bench for 11 points and 5 rebounds as Detroit fell to the defending Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics. It was a quick preview of what is to come as the NBA All-Star break has arrived and the Pistons
Jaden Ivey’s NBA All-Star weekend debut ended in victory.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado was named Rising Stars MVP after scoring 18 points over the two
Speed control has been one of Jaden Ivey’s main adjustments to the NBA since the Pistons drafted him last summer. However, Ivey didn’t have to hold back his quickness on Friday night during the Rising Stars Challenge. It was on full display as he glided from one side of the court to the other in
Where do the Detroit Pistons‘ two rookies rank among their 2022 NBA draft class, and what might they become? ESPN’s respected draft expert, Jonathan Givony, set out to answer both questions Friday with his second NBA Rookie Power Rankings as the league hits the All-Star break. Both Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren made Givony’s top
Jalen Duren, the youngest player in the NBA and promising center for the Detroit Pistons, will miss this weekend’s Jordan Rising Stars game because of injury. It was clear throughout the Pistons’ 127-109 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday that Duren was much less than 100%. He’d already battled ankle injuries in the past
Jalen Duren will have a much-needed break during NBA All-Star Weekend. The Pistons’ rookie center will not compete in Friday’s Rising Stars game due to a sprained right ankle, the NBA announced on Thursday afternoon. Houston Rockets first-year forward Tari Eason will replace Duren on Team Joakim, selected by former NBA center Joakim Noah. Duren
Detroit — The Pistons are entering the All-Star break with mental and physical fatigue weighing on most of the roster. They’ve lost five of their last six games, which included brutal defeats to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, experienced a wacky trade deadline that resulted in the departure of a long-time teammate, and two
James Wiseman made his Detroit Pistons debut Wednesday night in Boston. On a team of bigs, he was the biggest and longest. It didn’t take long to show he may also be the most offensively skilled. Certainly, Wiseman is the team’s most versatile on that end of the floor. But then that was evident watching

Stars making their return against the Detroit Pistons; a tale as old as time. This time around, it was reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart returning to action.
