On Jan. 5, 2022, the first meeting during this regular season, Charlotte won 140-111 at Spectrum Center. The Pistons have not defeated them since Oct. 18, 2017, when they won 102-90 at Little Caesars Arena.
For a noteworthy news story, Pistons’ head coach Mitch Kupchak informed reporters that Montrezl Harrell — acquired from the Wizards — should be eligible to play tonight. Physicals on both sides are required after a player gets shopped. Thus far, Harrell is averaging 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game this season. At this time, it is unknown if the seventh-year player will be starting.
Mitch Kupchak said he expects Montrezl Harrell to play tonight against the Pistons in Detroit as long as the physicals on both sides are completed. He anticipates it getting done in time for Harrell to make his debut.
