Former Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes looked forward to getting back on the court to compete for France ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Although he’s been preparing to join the star-studded French team, Hayes reportedly won’t be suiting up after all.

According to Eurohoops.net, Killian Hayes has been left off of France’s Preliminary roster ahead of the Olympics.

The 22-year-old will have to remain patient before returning to competition.

Last season, Hayes wrapped up a four-year run with the Pistons. Although he was considered a potential trade candidate throughout his fourth season, the Pistons couldn’t find a team to deal the veteran guard to, leaving them to make the decision to cut Hayes instead.

Despite hitting the free agency market, Hayes didn’t land somewhere else for the second half of the 2023-2024 NBA season. He remains a free agent just said before the 2024 market opens again.

In 2020, Hayes was the seventh-overall pick. The Pistons banked big on Hayes to come from overseas and become a core piece for years to come. After appearing in just 26 games during his rookie season, Hayes garnered a key role during his sophomore campaign.

In 2021-2022, Hayes started in 40 games, making 66 total appearances. The following year, he started in 56 out of 76 games, averaging ten points, three rebounds, and six assists.

Last year, Hayes got the opportunity to play under head coach Monty Williams. The first-year Pistons head coach took a liking to the young veteran at first, starting him in 31 games, offering 24 minutes on a nightly basis. Although his efficiency was at a career-high, the bar was quite low based on his first three seasons.

Hayes averaged seven points while shooting 41 percent from the field and 30 percent from beyond the arc.

As the Pistons made major changes at the 2024 trade deadline, Hayes was left off the roster moving forward. It’s unclear if, when, and where Hayes will get another opportunity to compete in the NBA, but it was clear it was time for the Pistons to move on when they did.

Unfortunately for the former high-end pick, Hayes won’t get a chance to showcase his improvements on an International stage.

(CBS DETROIT) — The Detroit Police Department is cracking down on crime connected to unpermitted parties across the city. 

“They’re happening on the east side, west side, downtown. They’re happening anywhere,” Chief Deputy Arnold Williams told CBS News Detroit.

Williams said the parties often stem from what he called “pull-up and park events,” where partygoers show up to a location and block streets to drift, drag race. He added they’re becoming more and more violent, as well. 

“When they throw these parties, they’re not following the regulations we have in the city,” Williams said. “Then somebody steps on someone’s shoe, somebody gets angry, then they pull a gun. And we can’t have that anymore in the city.”

Williams said they’re increasing the enforcement of parking rules. He went on to warn that if you violate the law, you can expect to be ticketed, towed, and potentially arrested. 

“We’re going to enforce parking, we’re going to enforce noise, we’re going to make sure no nuisance is taking place so that emergency vehicles can come up and down the street,” said.

DPD is also asking for the public’s help to curb this crime on Detroit streets. Williams said if you see anything suspicious don’t hesitate to call 911.

 “We’re not trying to stop people from having parties,” he said. “But we want them to do it safely and within regulations. And to make sure they’re not doing it by encroaching on anyone else’s rights to enjoy their property as well.” 

Williams said the department is simply trying to keep the city safe, not crack down on fun. 

He said if you want to throw a block party, you have to first contact the department and gather all proper permits.
