The Detroit Pistons only have the 37th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft — the first time since 2018 the franchise will be without a first-round pick on draft night. Their predraft workouts, as a result, largely have focused on players slated to go in the second round, or players who are candidates to sign two-way contracts with the Pistons' G League affiliate Motor City Cruise after going undrafted.

The Detroit Pistons will face the Dallas Mavericks in Mexico City on Nov. 1. The regular-season contest — announced by the NBA on Tuesday, June 10, as the first known game on the Pistons' 2025-26 schedule — will mark the Pistons' third appearance in Mexico's capital city. They previously lost to the Mavericks on Dec. 12, 2019, and defeated the then-Washington Bullets in a preseason match on Oct. 29, 1995. It will be the Mavericks' eighth appearance in Mexico City, and the NBA's 34th game in Mexico.

Former Kentucky forward Andrew Carr joined the Detroit Pistons for a predraft workout June 10, a league source told the Free Press. Carr is listed at 6 feet 11, 235 pounds, and averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists last season. He transferred twice in college, playing two seasons at Delaware and two at Wake Forest before spending his final season with the Wildcats. For his career, he shot 52.2% overall, and shot 34% from 3 on 2.3 attempts per game.

The Indiana Pacers have shocked the NBA world. Entering Game 3 of the Finals, they're tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder, 1-1, after an improbable playoff run. They entered the postseason as the East's fourth-ranked team, outlasted a historically good Cleveland Cavaliers team and beat the surging New York Knicks thanks, in part, to strong performances from their star duo of Tyrese Haliburton and Pascal Siakam.
