Pistons owner Tom Gores has agreed to become a part owner of the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. He is purchasing a 27% stake in the franchise, Daniel Popper of The Athletic relays.
The agreement is subject to approval by NFL owners next month. If the deal goes through, the Spanos family would still control 69% of the Chargers. Gores purchased the Pistons franchise in 2011.

- As training camp begins this month, the Detroit Free Press’ Omari Sankofa II explores 10 questions for 10 different players for the upcoming season. Those questions include whether Jaden Ivey can become a more efficient playmaker, whether Jalen Duren can expand his offensive game and whether lottery pick Ron Holland can make an impact in his rookie campaign.

Pistons.com’s Keith Langlois predicts Duren will finish in that spot, as he’s likely to play 30-plus minutes and get plenty of opportunities as a lob threat and offensive rebounder. Langlois also believes it’s unrealistic to expect the team to reach the postseason despite its offseason upgrades.
- ICYMI, the team signed forward Lamar Stevens to a training camp contract. Get the details here.
Jalen Duren will be the Pistons third leading scorer behind Cunningham and Harris.
