First it was the Pistons moving back to play in Detroit. Then it was building a new practice facility. The final piece is the Gatorade League franchise.

The Pistons are getting a new minor league affiliate, beginning in the 2021-22 season. The team and G League jointly announced Wednesday the Pistons have agreed to purchase the Phoenix Suns’ affiliate, the Northern Arizona Suns, with plans to move that new team to the new arena being built on the campus of Wayne State University after next season.
