NBA
The Pistons completed the sign-and-trade deal with wing Duncan Robinson yesterday. He comes to Detroit from the Heat, where he gained a reputation as one of the best three-point shooters in the league. The Pistons dealt Simone Fontecchio to Miami as part of the deal.
Detroit also sent guard Dennis Schröder to the Kings as part of a sign-and-trade deal. Schröder had signaled that he wanted to move on from the Motor City. Detroit included a second-round draft pick in 2029… and received a protected 2026 second-round pick in exchange.
And, Chaz Lanier signed his rookie contract with the Pistons. Detroit claimed the former Tennessee guard in the second round of the recent NBA Draft.
The Bucks officially waived guard Damian Lillard yesterday. The move had been anticipated, with Lillard facing all or most of next season on the sidelines with an Achilles tendon injury. Milwaukee also said goodbye to guard Vasilije Micić. The Bucks acquired Micić from the Hornets just last month, but will buy out his contract, and let him become a free agent.
