The 2009-10 Detroit Pistons season marked a challenging period for the franchise, finishing with a 27-55 record. This placed them 13th in the Eastern Conference, well out of playoff contention. The team struggled with consistency and injuries, notably to key players like Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince, which hampered their performance throughout the season.
Under head coach John Kuester, the Pistons failed to establish a cohesive identity, resulting in one of their worst seasons since 1994. Despite the presence of veterans and newly acquired players such as Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva, the team could not find a winning formula. The Pistons’ lack of offensive firepower and defensive tenacity contributed to their downfall. This season was a clear indication that a rebuild was necessary to restore the team to its former glory.
- Regular Season Record: 27-55
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
