After losing their affiliation with the Detroit Pistons in 2020, the Grand Rapids Drive will be known by a new name when they take the floor at the Deltaplex this fall.

Former Piston Ben Wallace is expected to remain with Grand Rapids as a board member/owner heading in to the 2021-2022 season.

The Pistons recently purchased the Phoenix Suns G League team and re-named it to the Motor City Cruise. They will have the team play in Detroit at Wayne State University.
