The Pistons struggled on the year, finishing with a 29-37 (.439) record, 4th place in the West Division. The team advanced to the playoffs, losing 2-0 in the opening round to the Rochester Royals. The team was led by guard Frank Brian (15.9 ppg, 3.5 apg, NBA All-Star) and a double-double from center/forward Larry Foust (15.9 ppg, 13.3 rpg), NBA All-Star).[2]

During the NBA season, the Washington Capitols folded and their players were dispersed through a draft. The Pistons chose Bill Sharman, a future Hall of Fame inductee, but he refused to report to Fort Wayne and the Pistons traded him to the Boston Celtics.[3]
