The Detroit Pistons' 2024-25 schedule is coming into focus.

The NBA released its full in-season tournament slate, now called the "Emirates NBA Cup," on Tuesday. Similar to last season, teams have been divided into six groups, three for each conference, and will play four "group play" games, which is one game against each team in their group.

The top four teams from each conference, based on their group play record, will advance to the knockout round and play in a three-round elimination tournament in December. The higher-seeded team will host the quarterfinals, with the final two rounds taking place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Pistons have been grouped with the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. Their full 2024-25 schedule will be released on Thursday.
