Mexico City — Markieff Morris guided a child in a wheelchair around the court. Andre Drummond helped another youngster walk through a footwork drill. Blake Griffin, Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway exulted as a small group of students made baskets on the other end of the court.

Basketball was everywhere.
The Pistons participated in a community-service effort with NBA Cares to benefit Special Olympics in Mexico City as part of a day of fun and activities before Thursday’s matchup against the Dallas Mavericks.
