The NBA Playoffs are rolling into the Motor City, literally. Detroit will be the first stop on the NBA’s coast-to-coast “Road Trip to the Trophy” tour as the league brings a full-throttle postseason celebration to Grand Circus Park on Saturday, April 19, just hours before the Pistons make their long-awaited playoff return.
Scheduled to coincide with the Detroit Pistons’ long-awaited playoff return, this high-energy, family-friendly event will bring the excitement of the postseason directly to fans during their first matchup against the New York Knicks.
From snapping a photo with the iconic Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy to predicting your playoff bracket, rocking custom NBA tattoos, and starring in legendary NBA celebration videos, fans of all ages can dive into the spirit of the playoffs. You can even leave a video message to cheer on your team or win exclusive prizes.
The day will be packed with Detroit flavor, too. Expect appearances by Pistons Legends, the Pistons Dancers, Piston’s Mascot Hooper, Nitro from the Motor City Cruise, and entertainment from the Pistons Extreme Team and Detroit Pistons DJs. Plus, enjoy interactive hoop fun with Pistons Academy and snag freebies like complimentary ice cream from Custard Co., cotton candy from Spun Sugar, airbrush tattoos, and balloon creations.
This marks the Pistons’ first playoff run since 2019, and fans can catch the action live at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN as Detroit takes on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. The Pistons’ playoff campaign is proudly presented by Henry Ford Health.
