The city of Detroit will soon have its own NBA G-League team known as the Motor City Cruise. The Cruise will play their home games at a new facility that's being constructed on the campus of Wayne State University. The Motor City Cruise are scheduled to debut in the NBA G-League during the 2021-2022 season. The Cruise have not yet named their Head Coach.
The Motor City Cruise will be a direct affiliate of the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons purchased the Northern Arizona Suns back in July so they could move the team to Detroit. The Northern Arizona Suns were an affiliate of the Phoenix Suns. The Grand Rapids Drive were previously an affiliate of the Detroit Pistons, but the future of the Drive is now unclear.
