DETROIT (AP) — Daniss Jenkins scored 18 points in his last game as a two-way player and the Detroit Pistons routed New York 118-80 on Friday night to end the Knicks' winning streak at eight games. Jenkins was playing his 42nd game of the season,

The Pistons saw their three game win steak snapped at the hands of the Washington Wizards. The Pistons suffered a scare as center Jalen Duren exited the game due to an injury.

The Detroit Pistons are trying to balance player development for the future and winning now, Trajan Langdon says.

Detroit Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff discussed growth, team chemistry, and the status of All-Star center Jalen Duren as they hosted the New York Knicks.

Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff has instilled a mindset into this young Detroit Pistons core and its resonating with them on and off the court.

The Pistons believe that Huerter can rediscover his shooting touch in Detroit, with Cade Cunningham creating open shots for him. But his impact goes beyond shooting. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff referred to him as a “complete player” during his pregame press conference on Thursday – one who can also handle the ball and finish at the rim at a high rate.

Detroit Pistons President Trajan Langdon discussed the team’s recent trade-deadline moves and overall strategy.

The Detroit Pistons made their first move of the NBA trade deadline as they dealt Jaden Ivey to the Chicago Bulls as part of a three-team trade that brought Kevin Huerter, Dario Saric and a 2026 first-round pick swap with the Minnesota Timberwolves back.

Jalen Brunson is expected to be available for the New York Knicks' matchup against the Detroit Pistons on February 7, 2026. His availability is crucial for the Knicks' offense, especially with other starters dealing with injuries.
