After a surging 2024-2025 season, the Detroit Pistons are adding to their squad, signing veteran guard Caris LeVert to a short-term deal. LeVert has reportedly agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal with Detroit, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The 30-year-old guard was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in February in a trade that sent De’Andre Hunter to the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeVert’s two-year deal with Cleveland expired this offseason, leading him to sign with the Pistons as a free agent.
The news comes as veteran guard Dennis Schröder, also a free agent, is reportedly set to sign with the Sacramento Kings. LeVert will serve a similar role as Schröder, both as a leader and as a threat in the backcourt.

LeVert averaged 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season, putting in just under 25 minutes per game on average.
LeVert also returns to Detroit after playing for Michigan from 2012-2016.
