After a mediocre season with the Washington Wizards, Danilo Gallinari will continue his NBA stint with the Pistons.
The Detroit Pistons are acquiring Washington Wizards stretch big men Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala in exchange for center Marvin Bagley III, forward Isaiah Livers and two second-round picks. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the deal.
Gallinari, 35, has played in 26 games, averaging a career-low 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in just under 15 minutes per game, and shooting a career-worst 31.3% from 3. He missed all of last season with a torn ACL.
Bagley, 24, is averaging 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 26 games this season. The Duke product, who was selected 2nd overall in the 2018 NBA Draft, is also averaging a career-low 18 minutes per game. Bagley has career averages of 12.9 point and 6.9 rebounds in 234 career games with the Pistons and Sacramento Kings.
Livers, 25, is averaging 5.0 points, 2.1 points and 1.1 assists in 23 games this season.
Muscala, 32, has played 24 games with the Wizards this season, averaging 4.0 points and 3.1 rebounds.
The Pistons, 3-36 and on pace for the worst record in NBA history, shed Bagley's contract ($12.5 million in 2024-25), while the other three players are on expiring deals: Livers ($1.8 million), Gallinari ($6.8 million) and Muscala ($3.5 million). The Wizards sit second-last in the Eastern Conference at 7-31.
