Tom Gores has continued his pursuit of the Pistons.

The billionaire financier remains in negotiations with owner Karen Davidson.

When approached by reporters, Gores and Davidson politely declined to answer questions about the status of a sale.

The Detroit Free-Press reports that although Gores wants to purchase the team, the sides have been unable to agree on a price for Palace Sports & Entertainment, the umbrella operation for the Pistons, the Palace and DTE Energy Music Theatre.

An exclusive 30-day negotiating period for Gores, which began in early January, apparently has ended.
