It’s finally starting to feel real. Basketball is back! The Detroit Pistons released their official preseason schedule for the truncated 2020-21 NBA season. In an effort to minimize travel and risks of exposure to COVID-19, Detroit has scheduled a pair of games against the New York Knicks and Washington Wizards apiece.
This will be the first opportunity for fans to see new players Jerami Grant, Delon Wright and Mason Plumlee in action. With no Summer League, it is also an opportunity to get Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey and Saben Lee some low-risk minutes in games that don’t count.
