The Detroit Pistons are trading center/forward Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for three future second-round draft picks, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
The transaction allows the Pistons to clear Stewart’s salary from their books while acquiring additional draft assets. In return, the Grizzlies acquire the 25-year-old Stewart to serve as a rugged frontcourt piece for their rotation.
Stewart has spent his entire career with the Pistons after being selected in the first round of the 2020 NBA Draft. Known for his physical presence and defensive versatility, he has been a consistent contributor in Detroit's frontcourt. The move signals a shift for the Pistons as they prioritize future flexibility and draft capital.
For the Memphis Grizzlies, the addition of Stewart provides much-needed depth and toughness to a frontcourt that has faced various injury challenges. The trade is expected to be finalized once league protocols and physical examinations are completed.
