Detroit — The Detroit Pistons traded Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks for forward Taurean Prince and guard Gary Harris on Tuesday evening, a source familiar with the trade negotiation confirmed to The Detroit News.
The trade between the Pistons and the Bucks was part of a six-team deal that also included the Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards. The trade completed earlier deals, including Detroit’s sign-and-trade acquisition of forward John Collins from Los Angeles and the franchise’s trade that sent center Isaiah Stewart to Memphis.
By making the trade, the Pistons created a $15.0 million trade exception. LeVert appeared in 60 games during his lone season with the Pistons during the 2025-26 campaign. He averaged 7.4 points on 41.7% shooting from the field and 2.7 assists.
The Pistons acquired LeVert last summer when the veteran guard signed a two-year contract after a brief stint with the Atlanta Hawks. LeVert had a subpar tenure with the Pistons, as a handful of minor injuries hampered his on-court performance.
Despite his up-and-down performance during the regular season, LeVert helped keep Detroit competitive in their seven-game second-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he averaged 9.1 points on .489/..429/.900 shooting splits, to go along with 1.1 steals.
Harris and Prince contribute to the Pistons’ ongoing effort to improve their 3-point shooting. Since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2014, Harris has shot 37.0% from behind the arc for his career. Prince, a former first-round selection in 2016, has shot 38.7% on 3-point shots for his career.
