The Detroit Pistons look for an encore to their stunning turnaround last season as they visit the Chicago Bulls in their opener on Wednesday night.

No NBA team pulled off a more dramatic turnaround in 2024-25 than the Detroit Pistons, who improved from 14 wins and the worst record in the Association in 2023-24 to a 44-38 mark and the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference. On Wednesday night, the Pistons open their encore with a visit to their longtime rivals, the Chicago Bulls, at the United Center. The Bulls lost in the Play-In Tournament for the third straight season after finishing 39-43 and look to build around a young core to return to the postseason.

Detroit opted for a slow, steady approach to the offseason, adding a pair of veterans in Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson to address needs for an additional ball handler and three-point shooting. Cade Cunningham earned his first All-NBA nod last season, averaging 26.1 points, 9.1 assists and 6.1 rebounds, but won’t have running mate Jaden Ivey available in the early going after the guard underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee and will be re-evaluated next month.

Chicago’s plans revolve around a young core of Coby White, Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis — all 25 or younger. White won’t play to open the season as he deals with a strained calf. The Bulls went younger over the summer when they traded veteran Lonzo Ball to the Cleveland Cavaliers for wing Isaac Okoro and added Noa Essengue, a French forward, with the 12th overall pick in the draft.

The Pistons are looking for their first consecutive playoff appearance since a run of eight straight from 2002-09 that included six straight trips to the Eastern Conference Finals and an NBA title in 2004. Chicago last reached the playoffs in 2022 and hasn’t won a postseason series since 2015.
