Burks is coming in for Cade. Now would be a great time for Alec Burks LLC to return. – 9:17 PM

Sasser with some triples, getting Detroit’s deficit down to 9.
Burks still can’t buy a hoop. – 8:34 PM

Ivey checked in after the break, and fouled Brunson on a 3. Which he hit. 4-pt play puts the Pistons down 13, and Burks comes in for Ivey – 8:32 PM

I might have been wrong. – 7:59 PM

More on this storyline
There’s no shortage of veteran role players who could be on the trading block for the Pistons this upcoming season, including Alec Burks and Monte Morris, most prominently. The Rockets had exploratory trade conversations with the Pistons about trading for Burks in exchange for several second-round picks while trying to offload Kevin Porter Jr. earlier this season, league sources told HoopsHype. If Morris can show he’s healthy, he’s an intriguing backup point guard option in the final year of his deal at $9.8 million. -via HoopsHype / November 29, 2023
Mike Curtis: The L2M report from last night’s DET-ATL game revealed that De’Jounte Murray’s foul on Alec Burks was an incorrect call. “Murray briefly has a hand on Burks’ hip, but he does not apply any force as Burks gathers into his shooting motion. The contact should be deemed marginal.” -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / November 15, 2023
Mike Curtis: Pistons guards Alec Burks (left forearm) and Jaden Ivey (illness) are officially available for tonight’s game against the Bulls. Two-way guards Jared Rhoden and Malcolm Cazalon are with the Motor City Cruise for today’s season opener against the Grand Rapids Gold. -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / November 12, 2023
