After nearly five days of being stranded in Dallas due to severe icy weather, the Pistons are finally headed back home to Detroit.
The team is currently on the plane and will take off shortly, which should have them back in Detroit on Thursday evening. The plane is the one used by the New Orleans Pelicans — according to league sources — who flew in to Dallas on Thursday afternoon to face the Mavericks.
The NBA was forced to postpone Wednesday's home game between the Pistons and Wizards because of the team's travel issues in Dallas, which part of an ongoing winter storm in North Texas.
