Killian Hayes scored 28 points, a personal best, in Detroit’s victory at Indiana (122-115) on Friday in the NBA, Theo Maledon also standing out, without however preventing Charlotte’s setback against Houston (112-109).
The leader of the Pistons, French highest drafted in history in 7th position in 2020 – even if Victor Wembanyama should do better in June – has since struggled to confirm all the hopes placed in him, not to start this season than to the injuries of certain teammates.

Maledon was also in the starting five for the Hornets against the Rockets, in another poster between residents of the abyss of the classification. As vain as they were, his efforts did not go unnoticed, however, as he managed his best total of points (22) of the season, adding 8 assists and 5 interceptions.
