The 2019-20 Detroit Pistons endured a challenging NBA season, finishing with a 20-46 record, placing them 13th in the Eastern Conference. The season was marked by injuries and a mid-season roster overhaul. Blake Griffin, the team’s star forward, was limited to just 18 games due to knee issues. Consequently, the Pistons struggled to find consistency and scoring power.
In February, the team traded away center Andre Drummond to the Cleveland Cavaliers, signaling a rebuilding phase. Young talents like Christian Wood and Luke Kennard showed promise, with Wood averaging 13.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. However, the Pistons’ defensive struggles and lack of depth were evident throughout the season. The campaign ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, providing the organization an opportunity to reset and strategize for the future.
- Regular Season Record: 20-46
