The Detroit Pistons will hire J.B. Bickerstaff as their new head coach, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Bickerstaff, who was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in May after being eliminated from the playoffs in the second round, will be the third coach in three seasons for the Pistons.
Hiring Bickerstaff is the latest move in what has been a busy offseason for the Pistons. In May, the franchise announced that Trajan Langdon would be the team’s new president of basketball operations, then parted ways with long-term general manager Troy Weaver a day later.
A few weeks after settling their front office situation, the Pistons fired head coach Monty Williams, who had signed a record-setting six-year, $78.5 million deal in 2023 and lasted just one season.
