Gary Harris Moves to Detroit

Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Harris is being traded to the Detroit Pistons along with Taurean Prince in exchange for Caris LeVert and two second-round picks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Harris picked up his $3.82 million player option for 2026-27 last month, but his fantasy outlook remains limited after a low-usage season in Milwaukee. The 31-year-old averaged 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 48 games last season. The move gives Harris a fresh landing spot, but he will need more than spot minutes to re-enter the fantasy conversation.

Taurean Prince Traded to Pistons

The Milwaukee Bucks are trading forward Taurean Prince to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Gary Harris will also head to Detroit in the deal, while Milwaukee is acquiring Caris LeVert and two second-round picks. Prince averaged 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 23.5 minutes last season while shooting 43.6 percent from three-point range. The 32-year-old was limited to 26 regular-season games after undergoing neck surgery in November to address a herniated disc. He gives Detroit another floor-spacing forward, but his fantasy ceiling remains capped by low usage and modest defensive production. Prince would need steady bench minutes to become more than a fringe source of threes.

Ugonna Onyenso Signs Two-Way Deal With Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are signing center Ugonna Onyenso to a two-way contract, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. Onyenso was the No. 53 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, with Detroit acquiring his rights after Houston selected him and moved him through New York. The Virginia product averaged 6.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks in 18.6 minutes as a senior, earning ACC All-Defensive honors. Onyenso's rim protection is the clear fantasy hook, but Jalen Duren's presence and Detroit's added frontcourt depth make early NBA minutes unlikely. He is more of a developmental blocks specialist than a redraft target.

Jalen Duren Draws Max-Level Interest From Lakers and Kings

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is the offseason's restricted-free-agency tug-of-war, with the Lakers and Kings pushing max-level interest, Sam Amick of The Athletic reports. The Lakers, flush with cap room after LeBron James's exit, see a long-term fit next to Luka Doncic, while Sacramento would need a sign-and-trade that Detroit has waved off. The Pistons can match any offer sheet, so a return to Detroit remains likeliest. Managers shouldn't sweat it: coming off 19.5 points on 65.0 percent shooting with 10.5 rebounds, Duren is a locked-in top-tier category center regardless of where he signs.

Pistons Not Interested in Domantis Sabonis-Jalen Duren Swap

As contract negotiations between Detroit and center Jalen Duren continue, the Pistons reportedly do not have interest in completing a sign-and-trade that would involve Sacramento's Domantas Sabonis. Duren is reportedly not thrilled with Detroit's contract offers and is meeting with the Kings and Lakers as possible sign-and-trade destinations. The Pistons ultimately have the final say, as Duren is a restricted free agent and the team can match any offer given by another team. Duren made his first All-Star team this year, averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds, but struggled in Detroit's two postseason series.

Mavericks Interested in Marcus Sasser?

The Dallas Mavericks have interest in acquiring Detroit Pistons guard Marcus Sasser via trade, according to Marc Stein. The third-year player averaged 5.2 points and two assists in 12 minutes per game last season, consistently playing behind Cade Cunningham and Daniss Jenkins. Sasser fell even further down the depth chart when the Pistons drafted point guard Ebuka Okorie with the 17th pick in last week's NBA Draft. Sasser has one year remaining on his rookie contract before becoming a restricted free agent next summer.

Pistons Plan to Match Any Offers on Jalen Duren

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is set to hit free agency, but he's unlikely to switch teams this offseason. There has been speculation that Duren could sign elsewhere this summer. There have also been rumors that the Pistons could do a sign-and-trade with Duren. The Pistons have shut down those rumors and have stated they will match any potential offer sheets on Duren. The superstar big man is expected to get a massive deal this summer. This past season, Duren averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks across 28.2 minutes per game in 70 contests. The 22-year-old is one of the best young centers in the game and is likely going to get paid like it in free agency. The Pistons remain determined to keep Duren, but we'll see if they will match any offer sheet that comes in.

Pistons Exercise Team Option For Daniss Jenkins

The Detroit Pistons have picked up the $4 million team option for guard Daniss Jenkins, according to Spotrac's Keith Smith. The 24-year-old began the 2025-26 season on a two-way contract, eventually earning a standard contract in February. He was then named a starter for the final three games of Detroit's postseason run, scoring double digits in each contest. Ultimately, Jenkins averaged 9.3 points and 3.9 assists in 20.2 minutes per game during the regular season. The Pistons seem to like Jenkins more as a scoring option off the bench, as the team is rumored to be seeking more shooting to start alongside Cade Cunningham.

Isaiah Joe Traded to Detroit for Two Second-Round Picks

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Oklahoma City Thunder are trading guard Isaiah Joe to the Detroit Pistons for two future second-round picks. Detroit adds one of the league's better volume shooters, as Joe averaged a career-high 11.1 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.5 threes in 21.2 minutes while shooting 42.3 percent from deep last season. Joe should help space the floor for Cade Cunningham, although his fantasy value still leans heavily on points, threes, and efficiency rather than well-rounded production.

Isaiah Stewart Available in Trade Talks

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart is available in trade talks, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic. The report notes that Detroit is searching for more shooting and playmaking, and Paul Reed could see a larger role if Stewart is moved. Stewart has two years and $30 million left on his deal, with the second season carrying a team option. The 25-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.1 assists last season, while Reed posted 7.8 points and 4.5 boards in a smaller role. A move could help Stewart if he lands with a team that needs frontcourt defense, while Reed would be the immediate fantasy name to monitor in Detroit.

Jalen Duren Expected to Clear $30 Million Per Year

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is expected to land a restricted free-agent deal worth more than $30 million annually, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps. The 22-year-old bet on himself by not signing an extension last offseason, and his regular-season leap made that decision look sharp. Duren averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 28.2 minutes while shooting 65.0% from the field. His playoff dip adds some risk, but a long-term deal would confirm Detroit still views him as a core interior piece next to Cade Cunningham. For fantasy managers, Duren's rebounding, efficiency, and secure role keep him firmly on the early-round radar.

Isaiah Stewart Could Draw Trade Interest

Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Stewart could be an interesting trade target for teams this summer. Stewart is one of the best rim protectors in the league and is on a reasonable contract for the next two seasons. Last season, Stewart averaged career highs in blocks (1.6) while averaging 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds across 22.7 minutes per game. The Pistons don't have a ton of incentive to trade him, especially with Jalen Duren possibly leaving in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Pistons feel out some trade offers, but they probably won't move Stewart unless they get blown away.

Tobias Harris May Remain in Motown

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but the team wants to keep him around. "We hope that we can bring him back," Pistons general manager Trajan Langdon said on Tuesday. "He's somebody we want to keep in a Pistons uniform." Harris has spent the last two seasons in Detroit after signing a $52 million contract as a free agent in 2024. He averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 63 regular-season appearances this term. During the playoffs, Harris improved his production to 18.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, which might have been the decisive factor in Detroit's willingness to negotiate a new contract with him. At 33, Harris remains a dependable but modest contributor in fantasy basketball.

Pistons Eager to Keep Jalen Duren

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren had a disappointing postseason, but the team remains high on him and plans to lock him up with an extension this offseason. "JD had a fantastic season," Pistons general manager Trajan Langdon said on Tuesday. "He's one of the biggest contributors to us being a No. 1 seed." Duren became an All-Star in 2025-26, averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds. However, his production dipped to 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds during the playoffs. This is set to hurt his value as a restricted free agent in the summer. But Duren, who has plenty of room to develop as a 22-year-old, remains very much part of Detroit's plans and should continue to be a double-double threat in fantasy for many years to come.

Tobias Harris Goes Cold in Game 7 Loss

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris recorded five points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in Sunday's 125-94 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He missed all six of his field-goal attempts but went 5-for-6 at the line, finishing the night without a made shot from the floor. Harris averaged 13.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists during the regular season, so the empty shooting line was a costly finish to his postseason run. With Detroit's offense sputtering badly in the closeout game, Harris offered only modest fantasy value through the peripheral stats.

Jalen Duren Finishes Game 7 with Quiet Line

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren produced seven points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in Sunday's 125-94 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 22-year-old went 3-for-7 from the field and 1-for-2 at the line as Detroit's season ended in the second round. Duren had posted 15 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in Game 6, so the muted closeout line was a frustrating fantasy finish after a strong campaign. He averaged 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists during the regular season, keeping his long-term value pointed up despite the postseason exit.

Cade Cunningham Endures Cold Shooting Night Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham amassed 13 points, four rebounds, five assists, and two steals in Sunday's 125-94 Game 7 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 24-year-old shot 5-for-16 from the field and 3-for-3 at the free-throw line while missing all seven of his attempts from beyond the arc. It was a rough finish to a strong campaign after Cunningham averaged 23.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 9.9 assists during the regular season. His playmaking floor remains excellent, but the cold perimeter shooting left Detroit without enough offense in the closeout loss.

Kevin Huerter Active on Sunday Night

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) will be in the lineup on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's been cleared for Game 7 after initially being considered questionable for the contest due to an adductor strain. Duncan Robinson (back) and Caris LeVert (heel) have also received the green light to play, meaning Huerter isn't expected to have a significant role on Sunday. He was also active in Game 6 but didn't leave the bench.

Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert Available Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) and guard/forward Caris LeVert (heel) have been cleared to play in Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. Both players were listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Robinson and LeVert combined for 22 points and five assists off the bench in Game 6. Having filled significant roles in the rotation, they'll need to stay productive on Sunday if the Pistons are to reach their first Conference Finals since 2008.

Kevin Huerter Iffy for Sunday Night

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) remains on the injury report ahead of Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. After missing seven games due to an adductor strain, Huerter has suited up for back-to-back games despite being listed as questionable each time. However, he logged only three minutes in Game 5 and was a DNP-CD in Game 6 on Friday night. Overall, Huerter has been limited to 9.2 minutes per game across five postseason appearances, so even if he's cleared to play on Sunday, he might not be part of the rotation.
