The Detroit Pistons fought hard in their playoff series against the New York Knicks, with Jalen Brunson leading the Knicks to victory in Game 6, ultimately pushing the Pistons out of the postseason. The absence of center Isaiah Stewart, who played only one game in the series, highlighted Detroit's struggles. Despite this setback, shooting guard Malik Beasley emerged as a key player, finishing third in playoff scoring and showcasing his shooting skills. Beasley averaged 16.3 points with a 41.6% shooting rate from beyond the arc during the regular season, generating significant interest for a new contract as he heads into unrestricted free agency.

His performance against the Knicks was encouraging, although his shooting efficiency took a hit. Nonetheless, with possible mutual interest in a contract extension, Beasley’s future in Detroit looks promising. The Pistons are projected to make several significant moves this offseason, potentially trading Jalen Duren and pursuing other talents to enhance their roster.
