AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Detroit Pistons are closing in on a move downtown.Owner Tom Gores said Friday night the team is very close to a deal to leave The Palace of Auburn Hills and start playing downtown next season. The Pistons have been in talks about playing at the Detroit Red Wings new arena, not far from where the Tigers and Lions also host their home games.I think if were going to do it, its going to be soon, Gores said before Friday nights home opener in Auburn Hills. Were getting close.The Pistons have played in Auburn Hills since 1988. Prior to that, the team played at the Pontiac Silverdome for a decade. The Pistons were downtown when they called Cobo Arena home from 1961-78.The Pistons won championships in their first two seasons in Auburn Hills and again in 2004, but the atmosphere slipped in recent years as the team went through several dreadful seasons. Detroit returned to the playoffs last season for the first time since 2009.The Palace was built with private funds by William Davidson, who owned the Pistons from 1974 until his death in 2009. The increasingly likely move next season meant Fridays game against Orlando may have been the final home opener at the suburban arena.Were serious about making this move, and I think we should take it in. I think we should enjoy it, The Palace, said Gores, who bought the team from Davidsons wife Karen in 2011. Really has been a historic arena, credit to Mr. Davidson.Gores said the Pistons have not thought about building their own facility to play in downtown. The Red Wings, who are owned by Mike and Marian Ilitch, are in their final season at Joe Louis Arena before moving to Little Caesars Arena.The new venue will be across the highway from where the Tigers and Lions play at Comerica Park and Ford Field, and a group is hoping to put a stadium for a Major League Soccer franchise in that area as well.Theres a lot going on down there, Gores said.Gores said if a deal is reached to leave Auburn Hills, there would still be time to celebrate the teams history at its current arena.I think we have to be really mindful of this community in Auburn Hills and their loyalty in showing up, he said. This has been a real community, and I want them to feel the same wherever were playing.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap NBA Jerseys .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- A few notes on Anthony Ervins 50-meter freestyle gold-medal performance:The stats: Ervin became the oldest individual Olympic swimming medalist in history Friday night, 16 years after he and Gary Hall Jr. tied for gold in the 50-meter freestyle at the Sydney Games with identical times of 21.98 seconds. Ervin is the only one still competing.Ervins 2016 time of 21.41 bested silver medalist and 2012 Olympic champion Florent Manaudou of France by 0.01 seconds, but it was slower than Manaudous winning time four years ago (21.34) or that of Brazils Cesar Cielo in 2008 (21.30). The last swimmer to win Olympic medals 16 years apart was Dara Torres of the United States (1984 and 2000).The cheering section: Ervins supporters in the stands included his brother, Derek; his former University of California-Berkeley teammate Evan Lane; his agent, Emily White; and his biographer, Constantine Markides. The swimmer singled out another friend in attendance, Elliot Ptasnik, who let me sleep on his couch [in New York] when I was homeless, Ervin said. Rounding out the group was Ervins former academic adviser at Cal, Derek Van Rheenen, who helped Ervin continue his education and was instrumental in getting the 35-year-old back on track to an eventual gold.After Ervin re-enrolled at Cal in 2010 to finish his undergraduate degree in English, Van Rheenen, who directs a program called cultural studies of sport in education, encouraged Ervin to write an autobioography of his life in sport.dddddddddddd Ervin wound up writing 50 pages and told a USA Swimming interviewer the assignment was an immediate catharsis where there was like a bunch of baggage, or a chip on my shoulder I just kind of flicked off. Shortly afterward, he began training seriously for the first time in eight years.Every one of those people that came here was integral to getting me to that moment, said Ervin, who spent several minutes in the stands embracing them before resuming his victory lap on the pool deck.The reveal: In postrace interviews, Ervin told reporters he has a six-week-old daughter who was born during the U.S. Olympic trials, where he qualified for two events in Rio. He declined to identify the mother and did not want the babys name made public. But he did take the opportunity to send her a message via reporters.She hasnt met her father yet, because I was busy doing this, Ervin said. I wanted to tell her that the American dream is for anybody without exception, whether youre a boy or a girl, no matter the shade of your skin, the shape of your eye, with no regard to who you love nor the beliefs you hold that give you peace, and for that matter, where you come from. If you want to pursue the American dream, the strength of those people will always overcome those people who would limit or de
