Which uniforms will Pistons wear in opener vs Heat? How to watch
The Detroit Pistons will tip-off the 2023-24 season tonight on the road against the Miami Heat.
It’s already been a bumpy start for the Pistons, who will be without Bojan Bogdanovic, Monte Morris and Isaiah Livers to start the season. The news got worse yesterday when it was announced that Bogdanovic would be out for at least four weeks and that Morris would be out for at least three to go along with Livers, who is out for 4-6 more weeks.

The Detroit Pistons will start the season in their black road uniforms with the blue and red stripes. It appears as though the teal is gone for this season (thank god) as well as the red uniforms with the lightning bolt (I liked those). They’ve been replaced with the new “Bad Boy” city editions that are growing on me after initially getting mixed reviews from fans.
The bad news about this game is that the Pistons will once again start the season shorthanded, but the good news is that expectations are low enough to make this a win-win situation for Detroit tonight. Miami did get off to a slow start last season, so let’s hope the Pistons can catch them napping and get a shorthanded road win to start the season.
