Malachi Flynn became one of the most surprising players in NBA history to post 50 points in a game on Wednesday. In 34 minutes off the bench for the Detroit Pistons, Flynn posted 50 points on 18-of-25 shooting (5-of-9 from deep), six rebounds, five assists and four steals. However, it wasn’t enough for the Pistons …
Early in the second half of a mostly lopsided game Tuesday night, Austin Reaves tried to flip the ball behind his back to LeBron James. For most of the first half, the Lakers were in Harlem Globetrotter form, the ball whistling around from one player to the next. It was the kind of offensive rhythm …
The Killian Hayes era has come to an end. The Detroit Pistons officially parted ways with the 2020 No. 7 overall pick — the first selection by general manager Troy Weaver — on Thursday, releasing him with less than two hours to go before NBA trade deadline.

It’s finally time for the Pistons to trade Bojan Bogdanovic. The Detroit Pistons haven’t exactly leveled up in 2023-24 the way optimists anticipated.

The Detroit Pistons defeated the Chicago Bulls on Oct. 28 to improve to 2-1 on the season. They haven’t won a game in the near-two months since. The Pistons were dealt a 25th consecutive loss on Thursday night, falling to the Utah Jazz 119-111 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Detroit was presented with a …
For once, Jaden Ivey was allowed to be himself. The second-year guard has seen his role fluctuate this season. He has come off the bench. He has started. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in five games, and more than 30 in three. The Detroit Pistons’ new coaching staff has been reluctant to let …
LeBron James, coming off a career-high 44-point loss at Philadelphia, and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates were very loose during pregame warmups.
