The 2024–25 Detroit Pistons season was the 84th season of the franchise, the 77th in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the eighth in Midtown Detroit. This was the Pistons' first season under head coach J. B. Bickerstaff.[2][3][4] This was also the Pistons' first season under a new president of basketball operations after finishing the previous season with the worst record in franchise history at 14–68.[5][6][7] On January 1, 2025, following a win over the Orlando Magic, the Pistons surpassed the previous season's win total.[8]
On March 28, the Pistons secured their first winning season since 2016.[9] They also became the second team in NBA history to triple their win total from the previous season, joining the 2012–13 Charlotte Bobcats, and the first to do so from the previous full season.[10] On April 4, the Pistons clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2019 with a 117–105 win over the Toronto Raptors.[11] The Pistons finished the regular season at 44–38, their best record since 2016.[12][13]
Matching up with the New York Knicks in the first round, the Pistons secured their first playoff win since the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals on April 21, breaking their NBA record 15-game postseason losing streak.[14] The Pistons were ultimately defeated by the Knicks in six games.[15]

Perspective
The Pistons held the fifth overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, along with one second round pick. The NBA draft lottery was held on May 12, 2024.[16][17] After finishing with the worst record in the league the previous season, the Pistons had a 14 percent chance of getting the top pick in the draft, and were guaranteed a top-five pick.[18][19] This was the first NBA draft to be held on multiple nights.[20][21] On the first night of the draft, the Pistons selected Ron Holland II from the now-defunct NBA G League Ignite. On the second day of the draft, the Pistons traded for Bobi Klintman, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 37th overall pick.[22][23]
