The Minnesota Timberwolves are acquiring Monte Morris from the Detroit Pistons for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton and a 2030 second-round pick from the Timberwolves.
Minnesota had looked into several options to upgrade their point guard position behind Mike Conley ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. They ultimately landed on Morris, who was drafted in 2017 by Wolves front office executive Tim Connelly when he ran the Nuggets.
Detroit will need to cut or trade another player to complete this 2-for-1 deal. Detroit continues the reshaping of their roster, as they previously agreed to a trade for Simone Fontecchio of the Utah Jazz earlier in the day.
