Big man Isaiah Stewart is reportedly on the move to Memphis.
As the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft rolled on, the Grizzlies and Pistons kept in touch after completing a trade the night before.
Reports surfaced Wednesday that after acquiring a trio of second-round picks from Detroit, Memphis flipped them back in order to add Isaiah Stewart to their frontcourt.
The 6-foot-8, 250-pound Stewart – widely known as “Beef Stew” for his willingness to mix it up – averaged 10.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 22.7 minutes across 58 games.
Grizzlies receive:
- F/C Isaiah Stewart
Pistons receive:
- 3 future second-round picks
