Jackson-Davis Has 23 Points in Raptors’ 129-125 Loss to Pistons to End Pre-Season
Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 23 points, but Toronto rested its top rotation and finished preseason 2-3.
On Friday, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Toronto Raptors 129-125 in their final preseason game at Little Caesars Arena. Toronto ended its exhibition schedule with a 2-3 record.
Toronto rested its primary eight-man rotation, including Kawhi Leonard, Scottie Barnes, and RJ Barrett, fielding instead a lineup featuring rookie Allen Graves and Trayce Jackson-Davis for game experience.
Jackson-Davis led Toronto with 20 points, making 15 of his free throws. Cade Cunningham recorded 18 points and seven assists to lead Detroit's effort.
The Raptors now prepare to host the Chicago Bulls for their regular-season home opener on Wednesday. The Pistons begin their season Tuesday against Boston at Little Caesars Arena.
Detroit enters the season fueled by Cade Cunningham, who has emerged as an all-NBA point guard. The Pistons added Isaiah Joe, John Collins, and Taurean Prince after Tobias Harris departed in free agency.
