'It's bigger than basketball': Pistons coach Dwane Casey, others join Detroit protesters

Detroit — Pistons coach Dwane Casey was on a video call with his players this week when the subject turned to social justice in the midst of the protests around the country after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

That conversation turned into action on Thursday, as the Pistons joined a peaceful protest and march in downtown Detroit.

“We had a Zoom meeting the other night and guys were talking about what we could do to have a voice and be part of the community because our team is here,” Casey said.
