Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren are back in the lineup, but Jaden Ivey joins the injured list
Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren are back in the starting lineup as the Detroit Pistons face the Minnesota Timberwolves in a road matchup at Target Center. Unfortunately, Jaden Ivey has joined the long list of Pistons on the injured list and is out for tonight’s game. Still, having the team’s best player makes the game partially watchable, and having Duren supply some rim pressure at least opens up the offense a bit. All that being said, the Pistons are +16.5 dogs ..read more

They lost by 25 points, and it somehow felt like more
You ever wondered what it’d be like if the Motor City Cruise played against an NBA team?
Monday night was a good example.
The Detroit Pistons, without four of their starters, rolled into Madison Square Garden on a six-game losing streak. It wasn’t long ago that the Pistons had won two-straight games, which isn’t a lot, but for these guys, it’s kind of a lot.
That feels like forever ago.
The Knicks weren’t all that healthy either — down Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson — but that ..read more

What is there left to root for?
The Detroit Pistons are playing the second night of a back-to-back against the New York Knicks and are once again missing the majority of its meaningful rotation. All the same players who missed Sunday’s lopsided loss to the New Orleans Pelicans will miss tonight. That means no Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson, Quentin Grimes or Simone Fontecchio.
Presuming the Pistons don’t pull off a miracle victory, it will be Detroit’s 60th loss of the season with 10 more to play. The Pelicans game featu ..read more

The Detroit Pistons injury report is concerning
Strap in, folks, because the Detroit Pistons will be facing the New Orleans Pelicans for a matinee game today without six of the first seven members of their ideal rotation. Yes, the worst team in the NBA is somehow even more decrepit. Today, Detroit will be playing without starting point guard Cade Cunningham (knee), starting big man Jalen Duren (back), its most reliable bench scorer Simone Fontecchio (toe), best perimeter defender Ausar Thompson (illness), best big man defender Isaiah Stewart (hamstri ..read more

Any chance there is a mercy rule?
The Detroit Pistons are quickly running out of time if they hope to avoid the ignominy of having the worst record in franchise history. They currently stand at 12-57. That means they have 13 games remaining to get an additional five wins. It won’t be easy, especially not tonight against the visiting Boston Celtics. Not only are the Celtics one of if not the best teams in the NBA, but the Pistons are more banged up than at almost any point in this miserable season.
The latest blow came earlier Frid ..read more

Lawsuit alleges defendants conspire to prohibit in-person contact to increase use of video and phone telecom services, with jail getting cut of the profits
Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores’ Platinum Equity LLC and Securus Technologies LLC are among the parties named in lawsuits against county jails and telecom firms in Michigan. The lawsuits claim St. Clair County and Genessee County were “part of a quid pro quo kickback scheme” with telecom providers to charge families “exorbitant rates to communicate with one another through ‘services’ such as low-quali ..read more

Remember when basketball was fun?
We have officially entered the part of the season where it is an endurance/torture test for fans to actually see things through to the end. Cade Cunningham is being load managed and regressing a bit, and on top of that the Detroit Pistons are down two starters for the rest of the season. One of the worst teams in the NBA will be without the services of Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson. That is on top of being without the services of two legitimately exciting trade deadline acquisitions in Simone Fontecchio and Quentin Grimes ..read more

Thompson being treated for blood clot issue while Stewart is out with a hamstring strain
The Detroit Pistons’ mantra to end the season has been “run through the tape,” but significant injuries mean it is likely to limp to the finish line. The latest setbacks include season-ending medical issues for two starters—rookie Ausar Thompson and big man Isaiah Stewart.
The team announced that Thompson is sidelined for the rest of the season and is being treated for a blood clot. The plan is for him to continue conditioning work and begin non-contact basketball activitie ..read more
