The Pistons faced the Sixers on March 11. The season was suspended that night after Gobert's test results became known by the NBA.

Along with Gobert, Mitchell and Wood, Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant and three of his teammates have the virus. We don't know who the three other players on the Nets are.

Before the season got suspended, the Pistons were in the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 20-46. They were going to miss the playoffs after making it last season for the first time since 2016.

Former MVP Derrick Rose led the Pistons in scoring this season. He was putting up 18.1 points per game.
