Detroit — The Pistons took care of a few housekeeping items this week before the start of free agency.
Detroit announced Thursday it has picked up team options for guard Alec Burks and forwards Isaiah Livers and Eugene Omoruyi for the 2023-24 season.
Burks, 31, served as the Pistons' offensive bucket-getter off the bench last season after averaging 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in 51 games. The veteran sharphooter also led the team in 3-point percentage by shooting 41% from beyond the arc. On a team with six players under the age of 22, Burks provides veteran leadership without feeling the need to disrupt the development of his teammates.
