Hello,
I have noticed that there are quite a few Group sites in our tenant for which group doesn't exist. I am not sure if it's a normal behavior but I do have some questions.
- Under what circumstances, can it happen? My guess is group got deleted but site didn't. Shouldn't the site be deleted with group in that case?
- Since those are the group sites, I can't pull who is the owner unless, I have the group. Is there any other way, I can get the ownership information?
- Is there a way to re-associate these group sites to some group? One of them needs to be a MS Teams site.
- Is there a way to prevent something like this happening in future?
Thank you.

Thanks, Juan!
Is there a way to avoid something like this happening in the future?
For the current sites, is there a way to determine the owner? In SharePoint Admin center, for any of the group sites, Admin just says Office 365 group owners. Powershell, give owner as blank.
Lastly, if the user wants the site be MS Teams so that they can have conversation. Is there a way to do so?

How did you confirm that the Group does not exist? have you looked in the Group recycle bin?
You can look for deleted groups with the Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup cmdlet
