The Detroit Pistons already had released their regular-season schedule but hadn’t announced their preseason slate until Wednesday.
In their first season under coach Dwane Casey, the Pistons will open with two road games, against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Oct. 3 and the San Antonio Spurs on Oct. 5.
The five-game schedule has two home games at Little Caesars Arena, against the Brooklyn Nets on Oct. 8 and the Washington Wizards on Oct. 10.
The finale will be Oct. 12 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, where the Pistons will face the Cleveland Cavaliers — without LeBron James — in their first preseason game at the Michigan State campus since 2000.
