General manager Troy Weaver and head coach Monty Williams will also be at the podium at the team's practice facility in Detroit to speak and answer questions.

Weaver spoke less than 24 hours ago after drafting Ausar Thompson, comparing him to Halle Berry.

Weaver will comment on the Sasser trade, in which the Pistons moved up six spots in exchange for future second-round picks, for the first time since it was not official at the time he had his Thursday news conference.

Zuckerberg’s remarks that the company’s third-party fact checkers were “too politically biased” for his vision of “free expression” probably didn’t help matters.
