Bojan Bogdanovic Could Return From Calf Strain Saturday

Nov 30, 2023 3:13 PM

Bojan Bogdanovic could return from his calf strain as soon as Saturday.

The Detroit Pistons upgraded Bogdanovic to questionable for Thursday, but Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers is a more realistic possibility.

The Pistons are 2-16 to start the season and have lost 15 straight games.

Bogdanovic averaged a career-best 21.6 points per game last season.

Cade Cunningham Calls Pistons 'Bad', Says Competitive Level Is 'Unacceptable'

Nov 20, 2023 8:50 AM

Cade Cunningham wasn't happy after the Detroit Pistons 11th straight loss on Sunday. He didn't mince words postgame about where the Pistons are at right now.

“We got to be realistic about the situation,” Cunningham said. “It’s hard to just be like, ‘We’re good, we’re good,’ you know what I’m saying? Because we’re bad. We have to address that. We have to address what we’re not good at. Address it with not only our words but on the court, in the huddles.”

Cunningham also said his team needs to compete better throughout games. That starts with coming in with the right mindset.

“Unacceptable,” Cunningham said. “We’re the youngest team in the league, scrapping and clawing for everything. That should be the last thing that needs to be asked of us or talked about; how hard we’re competing. That should be a given. When we wake up in the morning, we should be like, ‘We got to get to the court.’ (Head coach Monty Williams) shouldn’t have to ask (about our competitive level). That’s something me and (Isaiah Stewart) are also trying to stay vocal about. Everyone has to come with it.”

Nov 19, 2023 7:22 PM

Monty Williams isn't getting discouraged, despite his Detroit Pistons having lost 11 games in a row. Williams also won't say that losing habits are engrained for his team.

"I can’t say that. My job is to teach and help guys break habits that they’ve had for a while. I can’t speak to what’s happened in the past, but when you see it, you call it out and help guys grow," Williams said.

Williams added, "The habits are something we’ve talked about since the summertime and we’ll continue to talk about it until it changes."

The Pistons have had a losing record in 13 of their last 15 seasons.
