Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores has confirmed the team is “very close to a deal” to move the franchise back downtown.
Prior to the team’s home opener against the Orlando Magic, Gores confirmed the reports that the Detroit Pistons have been negotiating with Olympia Entertainment to move into Little Caesars Arena at I-75 and Woodward Avenue during a pregame press conference:
“If we’re going to do it, it’s going to be soon,” Gores said. “I’ve always been relatively transparent with you guys. We’re getting close. At the same time, I always want to appreciate The Palace and this great arena.
