J.B. Bickerstaff and the Detroit Pistons have signed a contract extension. The announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Pistons advanced out of the first round with their Game 7 win over the Orlando Magic.
Bickerstaff has helped guide the Pistons to a remarkable franchise turnaround after taking over for Monty Williams in 2024. Bickerstaff is a finalist for Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season.
The Pistons finished the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Bickerstaff will now face his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, in the second round.
