DETROIT, Mich. (March 3, 2025) – The National Basketball Association (NBA) announced today that Detroit Pistons Head Coach J.B. Bickerstaff has been named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for February.

Bickerstaff, in his first year at the helm with the Pistons, led the team to a 9-3 record for the month including going 4-0 on the road. Detroit went on an eight-game win streak to mark its longest such streak since the 2007-08 season and averaged 123.7 points per game while shooting 49.8% from the field and 37% from 3-point range. Six of the Pistons nine wins were by double digits including four by 15-plus points.
