Kevin Huerter is returning to the Motor City for the foreseeable future. On the eve of NBA Free Agency, the Detroit Pistons intend to sign Kevin Huerter to a three-year, $27 million deal, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Huerter stays with the Pistons after recently being traded to Detroit as part of the trade deadline deal that sent Jaden Ivey to the Chicago Bulls. In 25 games played for the Pistons this season, Huerter averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, while shooting 44.3 percent from the field. Now with the Pistons, Huerter looks to improve on his shooting from beyond the arc, as his percentage decreased after being acquired by the Pistons. Huerter shot 29.4 percent from three-point range in 25 games with the Pistons this past season, a two percent drop from his tenure with the Bulls earlier this year. With the Bulls, Huerter shot 31.4 percent from beyond the arc.What Return Of Huerter Means For Pistons Next SeasonMar 17, 2026; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Detroit Pistons guard Kevin Huerter (27) looks on during first half against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena.

Huerter’s ability to be a reliable shooter next season for the Pistons and help space the floor is key for Detroit in pursuit of its first NBA championship since 2004.

Now the attention turns to Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, and Javonte Green. While Duren is likely to receive an extension to stay with the Pistons, the biggest question marks will be what Detroit does with Harris and Green. Pistons general manager Trajan Langdon has expressed interest in bringing Harris' veteran leadership back to Detroit next season. Green, however, could be on his way out in free agency to make space for a free-agent signing for Detroit this offseason. NBA Free Agency is scheduled to begin on Tuesday at 6 p.m. ET, where even more Pistons moves could be announced and agreed upon between current players and free agents Detroit may be pursuing.
