March 13, 2020 Platinum Equity, the group that owns the Pistons, has also committed to paying the part-time employees at LCA, and Ilitch Holdings has established a $1 million fund for workers at Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers games.
Kevin Love, who donated $100,000 to the arena staff at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Thursday, commended Griffin via Twitter, saying, "Well Done BG. Big time."
Griffin, 30, has a salary of about $35 million this season.
