What happened: The Detroit Pistons announced they have extended the contract of head coach J.B. Bickerstaff.

Why it matters: The extension signals continuity for a franchise coming off a deep postseason push, including a run that forced a Game 7 in Detroit with an Eastern Conference Finals berth on the line. Retaining Bickerstaff keeps the bench stable as the front office builds on that momentum into the offseason.

What to watch: Watch for the Pistons to release the length and terms of Bickerstaff's deal, and for how the front office rounds out the roster around their returning coaching staff.
