#Pistons Killian Hayes shoots an airball 3 from the right wing, then Saddiq Bey finds him for an open look on the left win, which falls. – 7:13 PM

Killian airballed a 3 from one corner, then got the ball in the opposite corner and drained it. Good start for the Pistons – 7:13 PM
Orlando Magic PR @Magic_PR
The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,169 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

#Pistons Dwane Casey said they may be bringing more G League guys to Detroit through the remainder of the season to get experience. – 5:25 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey on Cassius Stanley: “I don’t think we were sure Cory would be back.” Casey added that the rest of this season they’ll bring guys back and forth to continue to get a look. – 5:24 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
On Cassius Stanley coming back on a second 10-day, Casey said they weren’t sure if Cory Joseph would be back today. And from a development standpoint, there didn’t need to be a reason. “He’s an excellent player, young player we want to look at as far as our future.” – 5:24 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said the Magic are in a similar situation as the Pistons. “They have an excellent group of young players. The Wagner kid is really playing at a high level for them right now. Cole Anthony is one of the top players in the league. And they’re growing.” – 5:23 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said he didn’t see Inside The NBA’s criticism of the Pistons’ effort. “I respect all the national media. I respect the media locally. But I really don’t care what the opinions are on the internet. I’m concerned about the 15 men in that locker room. Teaching, developing.” – 5:20 PM

Casey said Cory Joseph is available. – 5:19 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Casey said the Pistons didn’t come out with the right approach against the Grizzlies. “We came out feeling sorry for ourselves on the back-to-back, and that’s part of the growth. Learning how to play in the dog days of the season, on the back-to-back, coming off of COVID.” – 5:18 PM
Khobi Price @khobi_price
Cole Anthony (ankle), Franz Wagner (ankle) and Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) are listed as questionable on the Magic’s most recent injury report ahead of tonight’s matchup vs. Pistons.
