Joe Dumars is in the final year of his contract as general manager of the Detroit Pistons, but owner Tom Gores insists he is not on the hot seat.

"He’s not," said Gores. "Joe and I collaborated on these moves, we talk every other day. He’s done everything we’ve asked, and his basketball organization is really solid. I’m excited where they’re at. I don’t think I could’ve asked for more this summer."

The Pistons have not discussed an extension with Dumars.

"We haven’t talked about it. I really respect this about Joe — his focus is on the Pistons, on winning. He knows we have a job to do this year. The good news is, we’ve done all these move hand in hand."

The Pistons have a 54-94 record in Gores' first two seasons as owners.

The Detroit Pistons have exercised the 2014-15 option on the contract of Andre Drummond.

The move was a formality.

Drummond had a successful rookie season in 2012-13, averaging 7.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game.

Greg Monroe is unlikely to agree to a contract extension with the Detroit Pistons this month, setting up restricted free agency in the summer.

NBA teams can only have one five-year designated player, which the Pistons will likely keep for Andre Drummond before the 15-16 season.

The Pistons will have the ability to match any offer Monroe receives in free agency.

Brandon Jennings will miss at least three weeks with an impacted wisdom tooth and a hairline fracture of mandible at the base of his tooth.

Jennings will miss at least the first four regular season games under this timeline.

Jennings will be immobilized for three weeks.

The Detroit Pistons acquired Jennings in the offseason via sign-and-trade.

Andre Drummond jumped 233 spots in ESPN's Player Rankings poll from a season ago.

Drummond was ranked 277th in 2012 after he was the ninth overall draft pick by the Detroit Pistons.

Drummond is ranked No. 54 entering his second NBA season.

Rodney Stuckey has suffered a broken thumb.

Stuckey is expected to be out at least six weeks.

Stuckey suffered the injury when his thumb was caught in the door jamb of his car.

Surgery is set for Stuckey on Friday.

Maurice Cheeks will choose between Chauncey Billups and Rodney Stuckey for the starting shooting guard spot in the Detroit Pistons' lineup.

Cheeks could change his mind, but he said he is a "veteran's coach."

The Pistons signed Billups to a free agent contract in the offseason.
