Open tryouts set for Motor City Cruise

The Motor City Cruise will once again host an open tryout for aspiring professional basketball players and mid-tier content creators (said with love) on Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Detroit Pistons Performance Center, the team announced Wednesday.

The registration fee is $250, with the tryout beginning at 1 p.m. The deadline to register is Sept. 19.

Each G League team is allowed to invite up to three players from its local tryout to training camp. Just last season, Detroit native John Ukomadu became the first player from an open tryout to complete a full season with the Cruise. He averaged 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and appeared in 41 Cruise games last season. He also competed in the NBA G League Slam Dunk Contest.

The open tryout will consist of a series of NBA-level drills and scrimmages in front of operations staff for both the Detroit Pistons and Motor City Cruise. The Cruise is coached by Jamelle McMillian. Last season, the Cruise finished 19-15 in the regular season.

The Cruise will once again host their home games at the Wayne State Fieldhouse, with the first contest set for November. It’s honestly a great, cheap night out to watch some quality basketball in a nice facility. Not a bad seat in the house!

All tryout players will receive a commemorative jersey, so even if you don’t make it, not all is lost.
