Pistons trading Isaiah Stewart to Memphis for three future second-round picks, per report
- On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, the Detroit Pistons traded center Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania during the 2026 NBA draft.
- Trading Stewart clears $15 million in cap space for the 2026-27 season, providing Detroit flexibility to pursue roster upgrades emphasizing shooting and ball-handling needs.
- Stewart, nicknamed 'Beef Stew,' spent his first six seasons with the Pistons, averaging 8.8 points and 6.8 rebounds across 365 appearances; Memphis adds the 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece behind Zach Edey.
- Returning to Detroit, the three second-round picks were traded Tuesday to acquire Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie, making this deal a reversal of the earlier draft-night transaction.
- With Jalen Duren and Paul Reed in the frontcourt, Detroit manages a roster logjam; moving on from their longest-tenured player signals a strategic pivot to rebalance the roster.
