Feb. 4, 2026 ~ WJR Digital Sports Reporter Nick Lundberg joins Kevin Dietz to discuss the Pistons making a trade.
DETROIT, MICH. ~ The Detroit Pistons added much needed shooting to its roster in the form of guard Kevin Huerter, who was traded from Chicago for Detroit guard Jaden Ivey. In the trade, the Pistons also received forward Dario Saric and a 2026 protected first-round pick swap with Minnesota. After Ivey’s devasting injury last season, the no. 5 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft’s role took a huge hit this season. Huerter’s shooting in 2025-2026 has taken a step back compared to his career averages, but a change of scenery could help the sharpshooter bring a different dynamic off Detroit’s bench heading into the postseason.
