Washington Wizards vs Detroit Pistons Full Game Highlights | Oct 16, 2025 NBA Preseason TODAY
[Applause] out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Very high. I’m glad we showed it twice to try and capture that difficulty. Here’s Kate again. Pass outside to Assar Thompson. Squares up, returns, and fires. It won’t fall over Chris Middleton. And up come the Wizards to four court. That’s Alex Sar, the second pick in the 24 draft. And that’s a pocket picking. J to the rim for a jam. And the Pistons are up four nothing. Nice job of moving his feet but keeping his hands active. And when the ball presented, he was able to knock it in the direction of the Pistons. Middleton has had an excellent career including a championship season for the Milwaukee Bucks. misses from the lane. Chris, you remember, was a second round pick by the Pistons way back when. Duncan Robinson misses from distance. Sar boards it and brings it to four court. Still has it. Gives it up to Middleton. Thought about the shot. Now he is hit on the arm by Kade. He’ll go through with the shot and get the call. here with Chris Middleton and his year with the Pistons. You remember they had another young man who was a rookie right along with him named Kim English. You remember English? I do. Well, English is the head coach at Providence University. That’s a big job. That’s a big job. Good for him. Yes, indeed. Chris Middleton, a three-time all-star, the 21 champ at Milwaukee, averaging almost 17 in his career, shooting 46%, 39% from three, and 88% from the free throw line. Impressive. Always could shoot it. Yeah. And a heady player. Quality guy. [Applause] burries another. So, he got all three on the foul. It’s 4-3 Pistons. Kade using a Jaylen Duran screen in back court. Loves it down to JD and he touched it up and in. Big smile for Jaylen Duran and the Pistons are up six to three. Kate should say thank you because that wasn’t a perfect pass. You’re right. Driving into the rack is McCollum and he’s able to score it. Tobias against Middleton. Now Tobias checked by Middleton wide of the lane. Decade steps back long run goes. Nothing but net. Wow. Had it all the way. We were right behind him right now. He feels and it looks like he can do whatever he wants when he wants. Exactly. Trying to get to the basket and getting it to go is for Sar. What a block by Assar Thompson. Assar blocked Sar but finally a whistle blows. It’s on Jaylen. Staying with it though was Sar and he’ll get free throws. I said the second pick in the draft in 24 from France. First team all rookie. Had more than 100 threes, more than 100 blocks. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] average 2.4 assists for Brian Keefe, secondyear head coach of the Wizards. Free throws go. It’s 11 and nine Pistons. Rob inside Kade to JD for another jam. I think on that play you got a chance to see Kade occupying other defenders. Sar’s total attention was on Kate Cunningham and not on the guy he was supposed to be guarding and dunking, Jaylen Dur. Pistons are making some magic out there on both ends of the floor. A fast break after a forced turnover and Brian Keef will take a timeout. Only five points. Buff Carrington was helped to the locker room. A little bit of pressure on that one foot. Meanwhile, Tesan George, up and cominging young player, gets to the paint and drains the deuce. So, it’s now 15 to 11. I like that move by George. He showed strength getting the defense off of him, creating his own separation. Wizards get a stop block Jaylen Duran. Meanwhile, [Music] a jumper would notice that need those knees to get up, right? Yes, sir. Pistons inside of JD. Reverse. No, but a foul. Says Morat Kogat calls it on Alex Sar. Yeah, Jaylen Durren is busy because every time Sar goes to help, he finds some type of gap and opening and he’s getting the ball a lot.

Had a great first round series against the Knicks, George. They could have won maybe with Isaiah Stewart, but they led in the fourth quarter of every one of those games. Yeah, this is in a hurry up to Jaylen Duran. Man, is he off to a great start. That’s 10 already for JD. Sar on top against him. whips a pass inside. McCllum against Carris Levert missing from the perimeter with their rookie Trey Johnson. Rookie from Texas. They checked in when Bub Carrington was hurt. Foul called on Trey Johnson. By the way, he was a sixth pick in the draft. out of Texas. Six and 37 to play here in the first. Pistons 19, Washington 11. Carris Levert bounces and Kade takes a hit from Mahard charging Keshan George. Can you sense the aggressiveness and intensity of that matchup? Kate Cunningham, Keshan George sort of magnifying right now. Yeah. When when your guy, even if you’re only a secondyear guy, when your guy’s an allstar and he’s on a roll. Yeah. You’re afraid you’re going to get embarrassed any minute. Get up on him and get on him. Now Isaiah Stewart’s in the ball game. Caris Levert puts it on the deck. Stopped on the baseline. Ran out of real estate. His pass kicked off by Johnson. Swatted by Kade with a block. Cory Kisper had it inside. He lost it. Topside it goes to Keshan George to the corner and Free Johnson misses. You want to see a nice block? First of all, this should have been a pass, but since it wasn’t, Cage says, “I’ll take that.” From the baseline, fingertip on it for Isaiah Stewart. [Music] Kade spins to the paint. Shot is going to be off the rim to Chris Middleton. Trey Johnson hit Cade with a pass. Pick up the ball. Kick ball probably. Trey Johnson gives it back to Keshan George against Duncan Robinson. Chris Middleton to the basket cutting Sar lost the handle on the run as Cade dishes deep to Stew for a stop. And the Wizards need a timeout. The Pistons entertaining the home crowd early. You want Jay Dy to be 100%. Absolutely. His game, you know, relies on that speed, quickness, the miss up and down the floor. Needs to be healthy. One of the fastest players in the NBA, if not the fastest. Jaylen Duran shovels to Kade. He’ll rise and fire. It’s in and out. Once in a while there’s going to be an in-n-out shot even for a great shooter. Sar with a rebound. Cory Kispert with a basketball. district to the paint. Hooks on the run and it’s in and out. Outside it goes to Chris Middleton and that’s a round and off. A snake bit possession so far for the Wizards, but they’ll keep the basketball. Tobias is coming back. So is the Sar Thompson. K’s going to rest. So is Jaylen Duran. 10 points, three boards in seven minutes for Jaylen. Heck of a start. Interesting seeing Jaylen Dur and Isaiah Stewart out there at the same time. Something we might see more of during the season perhaps. You never know. Sometimes you learn these things in the preseason. From the corner launching and missing is Keshan George. Assar Thompson the four court. Isaiah Stewart for three off iron. Rebound of the rookie Trey Johnson. Johnson from the lane. Forces and misses. Had his own rebound. Lost it. Assar to Tobias. A lob to Ron Holland. He brought it down but couldn’t shoot it.

Will stop and fire and miss it. Caris Levert quickly to four court. Levert top side to Assar Thompson. Ron Holland called for a walk as he started his drive. Arroat Kogan made the call. We’re down to three and 19 to play in the first. Caris Levert comes out. Dennis Jenkins checks in. [Music] Marvin Baggley, one time Piston on the court for the Wizards. He’s had a pretty nice preseason. Cory Kiss against Assar. Inside for Baggley. Spinning hook. No. Followup flush. Yes. For Keshan George. And now it’s 21-13. Go, go, go, go, go. Dannis Jenkins with the basketball inside for Tobias. Batted away. Blizzards go deep, get a hoop, and a foul call. Champenny with the score. Three-point trip for Justin Champenni. Undrafted fourth year guy from fifth. Himself a nice NBA niche in his early seasons. Isaiah Stewart hands to Holland now to Dennis Jenkins. Clock at five. Baseline gun goes for Dennis Jenkins. You can shoot it. He did there and he drained it. 2316 Pistons. CJ McCollum [Music] gets it back from Champenny now. Marvin Bagley decides to drive it. Bumps into Stew. Shot clock running out. It’ll show and go on the baseline and a hoop for Champenny. That was a very nice move. It was a hesitation move and he froze the defense of Isaiah Stewart. Got inside and was able to loft it. Very nice move. Assar Thompson. Clock at 10 for Ron Holland. He brought it down and took a little step and they’ll call him for the walk. Detroit and back to Dennis Jenkins earlier on a pass attempt that should have been a shot. Jeff British 67 Champeni with a bump 2318. The Pistons lead it. Closing moments first quarter.

They like that matchup. [Music] Now a double team. Jenkins gets it, drives it, and delivers the deuce. Running glasser for Dennis Jenkins. Gives him four. It’s 2518. A swipe by the Pistons. Jenkins to Tobias. He’ll go right through Kissford. Guns it off the glass and that one goes. You know the thing I like about that play, Dennis Jenkins gave the ball up early. He gave Tobias the ball and allowed him to make his own decision going against a single defender instead of holding it like a lot of guards would have done there. Great observation, Gregory. I know you love it when guys give it up early. Here is absolutely Marvin Baggley missing from the lane. Assar Thompson to four court. We have 20 seconds to play in the first about 5 seconds different shot clock to game clock. JBsters up to call a play driving is Assar. Pass batted with 3.1 on the clock. It’s out of bounds to the Pistons. This Pistons will get it with 3.1 here. Chaz Laneir in the game. Inbounds to Tobias short from the corner. Pistons get it back.
